Families
At Calvary, we desire to support and strengthen families as we worship and grow together, developing marriages and homes that honor God.
We provide opportunities for couples and families to be encouraged and equipped by:
- Teaching biblical truths to families and children (Ephesians 5:22–6:4)
- Shepherding families to walk in a manner worthy of the calling (Ephesians 4:1)
- Equipping families for the work of ministry (Ephesians 4:12)
- Praying for husbands and wives to fulfill their biblical roles and responsibilities and to spiritually lead and nurture their children (Ephesians 6:18)
Interested in opportunities and activities focused on marriage, home, and family? Read more about our supporting ministries and related activities below and check out our Featured Events.
Wednesday night is family night! From January 10 to May 16, join us for dinner in the Crown Room from 5–6:15 PM, then we have Bible study electives for adults while children participate in Awana and students go to IGNITE! Note: Easter break will be March 28–April 4.
