“Making and maturing disciples to honor God”

Ministries for Children

How do you carry out the Great Commission in your own home?

How do you carry out the

Great Commission

in your own home?

“Jesus Christ commanded us to “make disciples” (Matthew 28:19-20) and here at Calvary, we can help you obey Christ’s command! If you are like most of us, you feel a bit overwhelmed with your responsibilities and the hurried pace of modern society. But the Lord enables us to carry through on His Commands, if we will trust Him to do so. In Deuteronomy 6:6-7, we find these words: “And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children. . .”  

Our church family has many likeminded parents, teachers and leaders who are reaching the next generation for Christ. Each week, we use a coordinated emphasis — centered around the Word of God — to make disciples for the Lord Jesus Christ. Please join us as we work together “having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.” (Philippians 2:2). Let’s help our children develop a deep love for the Word of God.”

– Pastor Gordon Dickson, Senior Pastor

Philosophy and Goals

We believe children are a gift from God which we have the responsibility to disciple  for the glory of God. (Psalm 127:3; Deuteronomy 6:6-9)

We believe the salvation of children is important to the Lord as taught in Luke 18:16, “But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.”  

Salvation – To encourage each child to have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, ensuring eternity in Heaven.

Sanctification – To teach each child to grow daily in that relationship to accomplish Christ-like character.

Serving – To teach each child there is “joy in serving Jesus” and others.

Safety – To provide a safe environment with qualified and caring workers.
