Spiritual Life &
Christian Education
The purpose of the Spiritual Life Ministry
Team is to answer the core question: How
do we keep the presence and grace of
God at the center of our life together?
Answering this question should give rise to
ministry teams including but not limited
to worship, prayer, music and devotional
life.
Enter
the
Bible
Mark 1:15 “The time is fulfilled, and the
kingdom of God has come near; repent,
and believe in the good news.”
Our 2012 theme of Enter the Bible greatly
impacted our worship life together.

The purpose of the Christian Education
Ministry Team is to answer the core
question: How do we grow in our faith
from the cradle to the grave?
Answering the question should give rise
to ministries of learning and faith
milestones including but not limited to:
Preschool, youth, family, adults and
congregational education opportunities.
The Christian
Education Team is a
combination of staff &
volunteers. Without
this team work, we
could not provide the
quality Christian
education Calvary
offers.
Milestone Ministry
Milestones bring
an awareness of
the important BIRTH
BAPTISM
events that
happen both in
our faith and in
our lives.
