Every child deserves the opportunity to know
God and His plan for their life.
We are a multi-generational church, and we believe God is setting up the next generation here and now! Our prayer is that young people learn and grow in their understanding of God and His plan for their life. The goal of our children’s ministry is to help kids learn the truth about who God is, while helping them understand their unique purpose on this earth.

If your child has an urgent matter during service we will flash your child's pickup number on the screens and also contact you via the phone number provided at check-in.

Junior Theologians
We believe all truth comes from scripture, and as we look at the Bible, we can begin to see the world God’s way. Junior Theologians believe biblical truth starts now in our kids’ lives. With this truth, they will be equipped to live out God’s way every day.
Wednesdays at 7
Junior is for preschool through 5th grade. No registration is necessary.
*Nursery is still available every Wednesday*
Is your kid interested in Junior Bible Quiz?
Junior Bible Quiz is a unique program designed to help kids learn the Bible, live out what it says, grow a love for the scriptures and have fun through group fellowship. Through JBQ, students are able to learn Bible facts as well as foundational church doctrine. The systematic and comprehensive learning method also gives kids memorization skills that last a lifetime.
We meet on Sundays during 9 a.m. service in Room 310

Child Dedication
Child Dedication is an opportunity to publicly declare your intentions to raise your child in a Christian home. It is a time when parents commit themselves to abiding by biblical principles and standards. Not only are you dedicating your child to God, but you are also dedicating yourselves as parents to Christ and the church.

Landon Sloan
Children’s Pastor
Calvary has been my home church ever since my family moved to Illinois in 2020. I loves all things related to sports and being outdoors. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Southeastern University, and a master’s degree in mental health and wellness from Grand Canyon University.

Don Agnew
Director of Elementary Kid's Ministry
My wife and I have called Calvary home for 12 years and I've had the privilege of serving Calvary Kids for the last four. Walking alongside kids as they discover Jesus and seeing families grow together has become my greatest passion. The church's future depends on investing in the next generation, and my wife and I are honored to be part of that mission. Alicia and I have been married for 10 years, and the Lord has blessed us with two beautiful children, Lola and Evan.
