Ministry Focus
HSM is Calvary’s high school youth group (Ninth to Twelfth Grade). We’re committed to creating a community where you belong. HSM is where deep friendships are formed as we experience Christ together, grow in our understanding of His purposes and plans for our lives, and have a blast all along the way with fun games and awesome events planned for students by students.
To stay connected with us, please see our opportunities below!
Summer 2021 – Save These Dates!
Restore & Rebuild Summer Theme
Our theme for High School Ministry this summer is “Restore & Rebuild.” Restoration is the return of (or to) something lost or taken and rebuilding is the practical work of raising up that which has fallen. As we come together on Sunday evenings, we’ll discover how Jesus – the restorer of all things – is the way for our return to peace, emotional & mental health, justice, and joy among others of God’s blessings. We’ll also consider biblical life patterns and healthy habits we can build into our lives as practical structures for living in God’s promises.
At Calvary Church, we wholeheartedly believe that when God works, it’s not just for “us” but for “others” as well. That’s why we won’t just be talking about the concepts of “R&R” – Restoration and Rebuilding in high school ministry, but also loving into our communities through authentic conversations about Jesus and practical acts of service to those who are in need. So, whether you’re figuring out Jesus for the first time or eager to be used by him to impact the world around us, we invite you to join us this summer on Sunday evenings and each Thursday to experience joy and purpose in Christ.
