Calvary Kids

Calvary Kids is our way of connecting with the next generation, from newborns all the way to Grade 5. We meet on Sunday mornings downstairs during the 9 a.m. service.. We want to be a part of the support system your family needs to go deep in Christ, live out authentic faith and make disciples.

Nursery

Ages: Newborn to 18 months old
Based on space requirements, our capacity limit for Nursery is: 4 children at each service

If you have children newborn to 2 years, our nursery may be a helpful room for you and your little one. We have dedicated staff who will gladly watch your children while you participate in our service Sunday morning. We also offer a dedicated space for nursing moms equipped with baby supplies and a video feed of the service.

TODDLER

Ages: 18 months to 3 years of age
Based on space requirements, our capacity limit for Toddler is: 8 children at each service

Active toddlers, 18 months to 3 years of age, will have fun in our Toddler Room. Toys and games, along with Bible stories, music and crafts make for an enjoyable, fun-filled morning. Our team of trained and screened leaders is ready to welcome your toddler and spend the morning caring for, playing with, and showing them Jesus’ love. Our goal is to provide opportunities for our toddlers to learn three important truths: God Made Me, God Loves Me, and Jesus Wants to Be With Me Forever! 

Pre School

Ages: 3 years old to Junior Kindergarten
Based on space requirements, our capacity limit for Preschool is: 8 children at each service

In our preschool classroom, your 3 or 4 year old will learn bible stories, sing songs, participate in activities and crafts, and hear about God’s love! They will enjoy a fun, safe environment, and begin to develop a basic foundation of biblical truth.

Elementary

Ages: Senior Kindergarten to Grade 5
Capacity limit is based on space requirements.

Our junior church program is for kids in SK – grade 5. Your kids will participate in bible exploration using SUPERBOOK.  Our junior church program includes a bible story, memory verse, prayer and in-depth discussion with their peers  

Calvary Kids Music

Songs that reflect Biblical truth are so important to plant in the hearts of our kids! Please find two great Spotify playlists below so that your kids can connect with songs that they sing at church and that have Christian values. Save the playlist to your Spotify account so that you can search it easily!

What to Expect Sunday Morning

Please remember that what works for one family does not work for another, so if you would like to have your children in the service with you, they are more than welcome to remain with you. Also, our children’s ministry program is experiencing a season of growth, and there may be Sundays in which our capacity has been reached, and because of this children will need to join their family in the service.

Calvary Kids programs will be offered for nursery, preschool and elementary aged children during both services (9 a.m. & 11 a.m.). Our Calvary Kids programs have limited space, and space will be allotted on a first-come, first-served basis: In the nursery we will be able to have 4 children. The toddler and preschool classes will both have a maximum of 8 children and in the elementary class our numbers are not limited. These numbers are subject to change based on child to teacher ratio.

Calvary Kids check in will be available starting a half hour before each service begins (8:30/10:30). Thank you!

1. Parents will need to complete a 2024/25 Parent Consent - Long Form for each of their children prior to attending any Calvary Kids programs.

2. We recommend parents do a general health check for each of their children prior to attending any Calvary Kids programs.

3. Upon entering the building, please check your children in at the check in table just inside the front doors. A Calvary Kids check in volunteer will be at the table and ready to help you.

4. Once checked in, please bring your children who are attending the toddler, preschool or elementary classes into the sanctuary with you for worship and announcements. (Nursery children can immediately be brought downstairs to their classroom where volunteers will be present)

5. After worship, a verbal cue accompanied by a slide on the screen will be given when it is time for All Calvary Kids to meet their teachers in the foyer, proceed directly downstairs to their classrooms, confirm attendance and then start their Calvary Kids programs. 

6. Our dedicated safety team members will also be present at the front doors and at the bottom of the stairs to assure all of the children are guided safely where they need to go.

7. We will continue to use the number notification system upstairs at the front of the church if a child requires assistance. Parents will be assigned a personal identification number (PIN) for their family located on the parent sticker printed off at check in.

8. We encourage parents to pick up their children promptly at the end of the service so our volunteers can clean and reset the classrooms.

9. Personal belongings should be kept to a minimum (ie: water bottles and Bibles) and should be labeled with your child’s name.

10. Please note: On the 3rd Sunday of each month all of our children will join us for the entire service except the Toddlers. On these weeks, the nursery will be available for parents to use and is equipped with a live feed of the service, but it will not be staffed by volunteers.

What We Are Learning

Children enjoy an in-depth study in both Large and Small Group. Through this process, children go deeper into the Bible, through a SUPER BOOK BIBLE EPISODE, become empowered as they memorize Scripture, through the SUPER VERSE and learn to apply what they discover in their everyday lives, by understanding the daily SUPER TRUTH. Lessons also incorporate Signpost videos to reveal the foreshadowing of Jesus Christ throughout Scripture. Each lesson incorporates opportunities for children to Pray about lesson application, as well as personal prayer application and requests.

Calvary Kids Goals

The goals of Calvary Kids are rooted in the Word of God. We want our children to know and be transformed by the power of the gospel. Every week we look to pray with our kids, point them to Christ and point them to God’s Word. We actively help kids memorize the Word of God and learn the promises of God so that they are equipped with the strongest foundation for the future. The point of Calvary Kids is to exemplify to God’s beloved children how to build their lives on The Rock of Jesus Christ.
