6th-12th Grade
A community of students dedicated to following Jesus.
Our Mission:
Invest in families.
Champion a generation of Jesus-followers.
Our Vision:
To see every student find their identity, belonging, and purpose in Jesus.
What to Expect:
Every Sunday students gather at Calvary to build community, worship God, and grow in their faith. Following our weekly teaching, students connect in small groups to learn from, challenge, and encourage one another in their walk with Jesus.
Youth Group is an environment where all students are welcome and valued, allowing them to have fun with friends, meet new people, invite others to join, worship together, and be equipped to step into the life God has designed them to live!
JUNE & JULY
This Summer, we are doing things a bit differently! Our programming will have 2 main elements: Large Group Hangouts and Small Group Hangouts. We will be studying the book of James in both large and small groups!
Large Group Hangouts - Meeting at Calvary from 6 - 8 PM
June 14 & 28, July 19
Like a normal Youth Group night, but with no snack/meal provided (Students must eat beforehand)
Small Groups will be grade & gender-specific.
Small Group Hangouts - Meeting at Host Homes from 6 -8 PM
June 21 & July 26
The vision is to create a more relaxed, relational environment where students can share a light meal or snack, hang out, and go through their Bible study together in a home setting. Groups will be co-ed, grade-specific, and led by their usual adult leaders.
In addition to the large and small group hangouts, we will have Taco Tuesdays, Middle and High School events, and summer camps! All the details are below.
