The Mission of
Children, Youth & Family Ministry at Calvary
The mission of Children, Youth &
Family Ministry is to serve children, youth and parents in
their faith in Christ and their service to others in daily
living.
We fulfill this mission when we:
-
Equip families to function well as
cradles of faith and service,
-
Encourage gatherings for children,
youth, and parents where faith is taught, relationships are
forged, and the Christian life is modeled,
-
Create an atmosphere in the
congregation that is welcoming and nurturing to families.
VBS was Great!
Take a look at some
VBS pictures.
