Welcome to Calvary Chapel Children’s Ministry where we teach children to: know, obey, and defend, God's Word. Our team takes seriously the opportunity we have to come along side parents in teaching the Bible to their children. We believe when a child learns the Bible at an early age it will never leave them. They may walk away from faith but faith will never leave them. They can always come back once they have learned God’s Word.

Your First Visit
Please come 10 minutes early to get your children signed into Lambs List. One of our volunteers will direct you to the classroom where you will pick your child up.  

Nursery
Our Team will make sure your young child is well cared for by loving and background screened servants. We will help you in moving your child from the nursery to the toddler room at the best time, usually around 18 months.

2nd – 5th Grade
Children in Second grade through Fifth grade are learning to navigate their Bibles by doing an inductive study. They will start in Matthew and work their way through the New Testament.

Students are promoted to the next class in July.

Volunteer Experiences in Children’s Ministry
We believe serving in ministry is a privilege and an important part of being a part of the fellowship. We believe every Christian is given Spiritual Gifts and talents to use in serving. In order to provide a secure environment, we require a background check, references and orientation for everyone prior to serving. After you attend our fellowship for 6 months you can pick up the ministry application at the Plugged-In counter in the church lobby. You will be contacted by our volunteer coordinator, Cheryl McAlister, to help determine the best place for you to serve based on your gifts.

“Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.”
— Proverbs 22:6

Some children are uniquely special and require special attention and care to provide for their needs while parents fellowship with other parents in the church community.

Philosophy
All children can experience God’s love. We believe each child is a precious gift from God. God made us all for the same reason – to bring honor to Him. People with disabilities teach us important things about life that we would otherwise miss.

Purpose
Provide Christ’s love to children (preschool – third grade) with unique physical, cognitive and emotional makeup through a hands-on supportive environment.

Goal  
To provide involvement of our children with Special Needs and the opportunity for their families to attend worship and church-related activities. Our desire is to make the Special Needs ministry a normal part of church life, not a special one.

"For the LORD does not see as man sees . . .the LORD looks at the heart." - 1 Samuel 16:7

Friends is a ministry that is devoted to  preparing young children to know and follow Jesus Christ. We desire children to imitate Jesus and grow in His love. In all things, the Bible is our guide. Our focus is on Spiritual development and the nurturing of a Biblical worldview.

While we are committed to providing a loving Christian staff who serve as Godly role models we also understand that young children learn best through their five senses and movement. Children thrive in a stimulating, creative, safe environment with friends.

Although we are not a preschool, Friends is a free structured program where children are encouraged to follow directions, listening with focus, be kind and respectful, develop self-control, and communicate in a positive way. All of these qualities prepare a child for academic success as well as spiritual growth. 

"You are my friends if you do whatever I command you...I have called you friends; for all things that I heard of My Father I have made known to you."
John 15:14-15
