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 below and check out our Featured Events.

    New Horizons For Children
    Support our summer host families

    New Horizons For Children
    Summer Host Program, June – August

    This summer, five Calvary families have a unique opportunity to host orphaned teens from Latvia for six weeks, beginning in June. Calvary HOME Ministry is partnering with New Horizons For Children to offer these young people first-hand experiences with positive family relationships, spiritual nurturing, healthy hygiene, American culture, and immersion in the English language.
     
    This is an exciting opportunity for these teenagers to hear the Gospel — they have a Heavenly Father who loves them dearly and is waiting to adopt them into His eternal family!

    How you can help:
    • Pray for the host families
    • Provide gift cards of $10 or $25 for restaurants, clothing, & activities
    • Donate dental or optometry services for the teens
    • Offer Latvian translation skills 
    Stop by Galleria table 3 on Sundays for more details or to drop off gift cards.

    Parenting Milestones
    New sessions return in September

     

    Parenting Milestones

    Select Sundays
    11:15 AM–12:15 PM, Room 200

    “Behold, children are a gift of the Lord” (Psalm 127:3). And seemingly “in the blink of an eye,” they reach adulthood.
     
    Parenting Milestones is Calvary’s new series of Bible-based sessions designed specifically for your family as you encounter key transitions in your children’s lives. Allow us to come alongside you as you prepare for these important times. Calvary pastors and ministry leaders will address what to expect as your son or daughter reaches key milestones in life. And they'll discuss ways to guide them through those transitional phases, often providing helpful resources.
     
    Stay tuned for sessions to resume in the fall!
     
    Sept 10  |  Preparing Your 3rd Grader for Next Steps
