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 September 6 to November 15, 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!

Estate Design Seminars
Thursday, October 26 | 2:00 & 7:00 PM
Banquet Room"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." — 2 Corinthians 4:18When preparing financial plans, it is important to consider both the current and eternal perspectives. Our semi-annual seminars are focused on day-to-day money management and key components of estate design in light of God's Word. In addition to addressing typical concerns, you will be invited to ask yourself — what would the Lord have me do? Objectives include:- Strengthening — not straining — family relationships
- Taking an all-encompassing approach
- Care & guardianship of minor children
- Avoiding negative impacts on beneficiaries
- Tax considerations
- Achieving greatest Kingdom impact
There is NO cost for the seminar, and the process is absolutely confidential. You’ll benefit no matter your stage of life—whether you’re starting a family or reviewing plans as an empty-nester. Either update your current will and estate plan or get started now.
Estate Design Seminars take place in the spring and fall. Choose 2 PM or 7 PM.
