Ministry Focus
It is in community where people experience God’s love by meeting together regularly, studying God’s Word, praying together and caring for one another. The following are opportunities for all adults to gather in community together. For a list of age-specific groups see the page for that specific ministry.
Calvary Equip Classes will help you gain knowledge of tools of the faith, find enrichment in your faith, obtain skills to do the work, receive opportunities to practice and find direction on next steps. This is a great way to journey deeper in your spiritual formation.

Join us for this 10-session class to learn practical, proven ways to overcome by the power of prayer in Jesus name to address these issues your life.

All of our Adult Sunday classes are committed to engage more deeply with the Bible and authentic biblical community. The focus of each class is growing in God’s Word, care, prayer, and community. We encourage you to visit a few of the classes to see where God may be leading you to connect at Calvary Church. Questions? Contact Karen.

Embrace is a warm community where faith is strengthened through friendships, mentoring and sound teaching for Moms with babies and young children.

Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27) We would love to have you join us for fellowship, mentoring, devotions, breakfast and insightful speakers.
