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.

Calvary Equip: What We Believe (pre-requisite for membership)
This  class is open to anyone wanting to explore what Calvary Church believes and teaches. It is a pre-requisite for membership, but we encourage anyone who wants to become more familiar with what we believe to take the class. The class is open to anyone 12 years of age or older. 

A Man & His Work | 6 sessions | Wednesday, February 28 – April 17 (no meeting on March 27 and April 3) | 6:30-7:45pm | Room 265 | $10

A Man and His Work is part of the Authentic Manhood 33 series of six-week sessions that gives men a vision for manhood as modeled by Jesus in His 33 years on earth. An inspiring vision of work from God’s bigger perspective. 

Freedom in Christ for Men | 11 Sessions + Saturday, June 1 9:30am-4:30pm | Thursday, April 11 – June 20 | 6:30-8:30pm | Room 265 | $10

Are you stuck in repeating patterns of sin? Do you want to have the freedom that Christ gives? Are you ready to uncover and work through any areas of deception holding you back? This 11 week course will help you grasp the amazing truth of your new identity in Christ- what Scripture says about who you are; spiritual conflict – how to take thoughts captive; how to heal damaged emotions and freedom of forgiveness. If you are ready to take your walk with Christ seriously, this class will give you the tools to walk in victory. A Saturday workshop will be held on June 1 from 9:30am-4:30pm as well.

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.
