Questions about what to expect? Here are answers to some of the most common questions. Or contact us for more information.
You’re also invited to our Newcomers Reception in the Calvary Café right after the morning worship service. Drop by for coffee and meet some of our pastors, members, and other guests!

+ Do you offer Sunday School?
Yes! We meet for fellowship and Bible study in smaller life groups at 8:30 and 11:15 AM. These Adult Life Groups are grouped by interest, language, stage-of-life, and more. Guests and newcomers are always welcome. Students meet for Student Life Groups at 11:15 AM, and age appropriate children's classes are offered at 9:15 and 11:15 AM.
+ How should I dress?
You’ll receive a warm welcome at Calvary no matter what you wear. On any given Sunday, most people tend to wear business casual, but there’s always a wide range from ties or heels to jeans and sneakers.
+ What is there for children and students?
We have lots for children and students at Calvary! On Sunday mornings, we have Children's Ministry classes for nursery through grade school, plus Student Ministry groups for middle school and high school. We’ll help you register your kids at the "Family Welcome and Information" center near the elevators.
During the week, Calvary has AWANA Bible Clubs, CHAMP Sports, plus summer VBS and camp programs. Read more about our many activities for children, and middle and high school students.
