Calvary Sunday School

We are very thankful that we have a vibrant Sunday School for children from Pre-K through the 6th grade.

 

Dedicated teachers provide an enjoyable learning experience for our children. We use a lectionary-based curriculum by Hearts Alive that follows the Biblical readings for the day, which allows our students to have an excellent Christian education in a fun and exciting manner. Our aim is to have a Sunday school program that builds faith and character and will serve our youth for life.

 

Sunday school starts at 9:45 a.m., just before the 10:00 a.m. service. At about 10:30 a.m., Sunday School concludes and children join their parent(s) or guardian(s) midway through the Holy Communion service.

Rite 13

Rite 13 is the first segment of the larger Journey to Adulthood curriculum. Created for youth aged 12 or 13 and in grades 7 or 8, this program is specifically designed to encourage faith formation for teens. 


Rite 13 uses Bible study, prayer, rites of passage, service projects and creative, developmentally appropriate lessons arranged within categories of Self, Society, and Spirituality. The program creates a safe haven in which to explore new ideas, new interests, and new abilities.
