Ministry Focus
The heart of everything we do in 78 is relationships. We are passionate about providing students opportunities to build community with each other, with safe, trusted adults, and with God. None of us were created to live life alone. Life is messy and challenging at times, and we are committed to being a place where students are seen, known, loved, and cared for – as they are – by us and most importantly, by God.
If along this journey there is a specific need our team can meet for you and your family, please don’t hesitate to call or email us anytime. Whether it’s a time of prayer, a run for food and supplies, or financial support, we would be delighted to serve you and your family. We’re in this together! Contact us calvarystudents@calvarygr.org.
Sunday Morning
Are you looking for a space to dig even deeper into how God might be calling you to apply the lessons taught in the Sunday Morning Sermons? 7&8 Ministry is offering just that space. Join us in Room 109, during the 10:45 service, for a chance to connect with your peers, dig deeper into what God said through each week’s sermon, ask tough questions about how it pertains to your life as a middle schooler, and understand better how God might be calling you to apply it to your life.
