Children
Calling all kiddos! We care so much for each child who walks through the door.
Calvary children's ministry includes our Christian Day School (Preschool-8th), Sunday School (Sundays at 9:25 AM), Vacation Bible School and more.
Calvary Lutheran Church and School lives under the cross of Christ. From the five crosses that hang in the heart of Calvary’s sanctuary, to those found on the walls of our Christian Day School, our members, students, families, and staff are constantly reminded of the good news that we are saved by Jesus’ death and resurrection, because He loves us. It is a blessing to live each day under the cross of Christ. We pray that here you are empowered by God to share this Good News of Jesus Christ at home, church, school and around the world.
