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.
Pre-registration is required.

Fall 2023 class listings and registration details will be available in August.
What is a community group?
Community groups exist to make disciples through actively living out our faith together in community.
A community group is 3 or more people in similar life stages that does life together. They are groups who care for each other, has fun together, pursues the Lord together, points each other to the Lord, lives out their faith together, and does everything in between! Community Groups are what help us be the Church Monday – Saturday!
How do I join a community group?
The best way to get connected to a community group will be through the Community Group Launch. Our next launch will be in the fall. Stay tuned for more information.
What is a community group launch?
The community group launch is a short term 3 week commitment on Thursdays with intentions to: cast vision, give a mission, equip, and form relationships for long term community groups. All of this is done at Calvary Church.

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.
