Children’s
Ministry.
Welcome!
We believe that children are a gift from God (Psalm 127:3-5) and that children are important in the Kingdom of God and Christ died to redeem children from their sin. (Luke 18:15-17 & 1 Timothy 2:4) This ministry supports and reinforces the Biblical duty of parents to raise their children in the training and admonition of the Lord. (Ephesians 6:4, Psalm 78:5-8, Deuteronomy 6:6-7 & Proverbs 1:8)
Our goal at Calvary Chapel Tri-County is summed up in Proverbs 22:6 – “Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it.”
Our Children’s Ministry Includes
Nursery Ages birth to 4
Sunday School Ages 5-10 (they must be fully potty-trained)

What Parents Can Expect
Nursery and Sunday School are offered during Sunday morning service. Children are dismissed after worship and must be escorted by their parent/guardian to the appropriate classroom. A parent/guardian must be present to check-in and check-out their children.
Our teachers strive to create a welcoming, safe, and engaging environment, teaching Biblical principles and sound doctrine through stories, activities and the reading of the Bible. We currently utilize the Calvary Curriculum. https://calvarycurriculum.com/
