    We Believe
    Catechism for Kids & Families
    Schedule your catechism presentation now!

    Preparing for your child's catechism presentation

    As you and your child continue to work through We Believe: Catechism for Calvary Kids and Families this summer, it's time to think about scheduling an appointment with one of our pastors or Children's Ministry leaders so that your child may present their catechism work before August 31. Or for your convenience, choose to make your presentation in the Calvary Café any Sunday in August from 12:30–1:00 PM.

    Parents will be asked to read the questions from the book while kids will be expected to give the full answer (without notes) for all 16 Articles of Faith. Once the leader has approved their work, the child and family will be invited to a special celebration luncheon on September 8 to recognize their accomplishment. Plus, kids will also receive a Catechism Medal!

    Contact a leader to make your appointment:

    We Believe: Catechism for Calvary Kids & Families is based on our 16 Articles of Faith and provides questions and answers to learn the key biblical truths we believe. This summer project is for families with children currently completing grades 3–5.

    Summer Schedule:

    • June – Catechism books available! Begin learning the Q&A
    • August – Make an appointment to present your catechism work to a pastor or ministry leader by August 31
    • September – Enjoy a special celebration lunch on Sunday, September 8 for kids and families who have completed the catechism

    Children's New Believers Class
    Parent/Child Kick-off: September 15
    Classes: October 27–November 17

    We invite children in 2nd – 5th grades who want to learn more about the foundational truths of Christianity and better understand their decision to follow Christ to enroll in this class. It is offered twice each year. 
     
    The program involves several components:
    Parent/Child Kick-off & Lunch: September 15
    Home devotions over six weeks
    Children's Classes: Sundays, October 27–November 17

    Parent / Child Kick-off & Lunch
    Sunday, September 15      |  12:30–2:30 PM, Crown Room

    We begin with a parent/child kick-off on Sunday, September 15. We'll have lunch together, and then parents will receive an introduction to discipleship while children receive an age-appropriate overview of what it means to be a Christian and some of the fundamentals of our faith.
     

    Following the kickoff, parents then have six weeks to complete five sets of weekly "fun-work" assignments with their children before group classes begin. It just takes about 10 minutes each day to do this together five days a week. (Must be completed by the first day of group classes.)

    Group Classes: Sundays, October 27–November 17
     
    October 27: Parents and children attend the first day together, starting at 9:30 AM, in Room 300
     
    November 3, 10 & 17: Children attend 9:45–11:15 AM, in Room 300
     

    At the end of the last class, we will give each child a 90-day devotional to encourage him/her to continue growing in his/her faith.

    Please preregister your child for this class!
