Where to go
We meet in the Youth Auditorium at 9S200 State Route 59, Naperville. Enter through Door 6. Look for the Calvary Youth sign and the people holding welcome signs.
Nobody's putting you on the spot
Wear whatever you want and bring a friend. You won't be asked to stand up or say anything. Just come as you are.
YTH Groups
A group that knows your name.
Big nights are fun, but YTH Groups are where friendships happen. Groups meet Monday nights at 6 p.m., off campus, in smaller groups with leaders who get to know students.
It's a place to ask real questions, pray for each other, and have adults in your corner who aren't your parents (sorry, parents).
Get involved
There's a place for you to serve.
Students and adults both make all this happen!
Students
Join the Student Volunteer Team and serve alongside other ministries around Calvary. It's a great way to lead, make friends, and make a difference.
Join the teamAdults
Love students? We're always looking for leaders who will show up, listen, and point students to Jesus.
Volunteer formFor parents
Parents, we're on your team.
You're the biggest influence in your student's life. We want to back you up, keep you informed, and make sure your kid is safe and known.
Safe and cared for
Every leader is background checked and trained. Students check in each week, and there are always two or more adults with students.

Good questions.
From students and parents alike. Don't see yours? Reach out anytime.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes, please! Friends are always welcome, whether or not they go to church anywhere.
What should I wear?
Whatever you're comfortable in. Hoodies, sports practice clothes, school clothes. All good.
Does it cost anything?
There's no cost to attend on Wednesdays or Sundays. Some trips and camps have a cost, and we'll always share details ahead of time.
My student is shy. Will they be okay?
Absolutely. Our leaders watch for new students and help them connect, and nobody gets put on the spot. It usually only takes a week or two to feel at home.
Is 6th grade too young for Wednesday nights?
Not at all. Wednesdays are for grades 6–12, and YTH Groups help students connect with others their own age.
Where do I drop off?
Drop off at Door 6. It leads right into the Youth Auditorium at 9s200 State Route 59.
Student story
Hear it from a student.
One of our students shares what God has done in their life through YTH.
We'd love to hear from you.
