Our Kid Zone (Grades 1–2) and Zone 345 (Grades 3–5) programs are where our grade school kids make their faith their own.
We actively partner with parents to encourage families to make a whole-life commitment to Jesus Christ. We seek to engage kids in a fun and creative program that helps build a strong spiritual foundation, introducing children to the Gospel message and inviting them to respond in faith. Check out the details below and join us this Sunday!
Are you new to Calvary? On Sunday mornings, stop by the Family Welcome Desk (near the elevators). Our team is here to help!

Kid Zone is where our 1st and 2nd graders begin making their faith their own. The children worship the Lord through music, participate in Bible study and prayer, and begin to apply biblical principles to their lives. We emphasize God's desire to have a personal relationship with every child!
Kid Zone starts at 9:45 AM in the Crown Room with large group praise and worship, videos, and interactive presentations. Then we move to small groups for Bible study activities. Children who continue for the 11:15 session enjoy an active program in Room 300 featuring Bible challenges and games that reinforce the lesson and Scripture memory goals. Children may attend one or both the 9:45 and 11:15 AM sessions. We encourage kids to bring their Bible every Sunday!
We provide a small pre-packaged snack. Please let us know if you have any food or allergy concerns. Thank you!
