Junior and Senior High

The youth ministry of Calvary assists parents by partnering with them in their God-given role of teaching and training their children to (1) know God, (2) cultivate Christ-likeness, (3) apply scriptural truth to daily life, and (4) serve God and others.

Know God

• God longs for people to know Him (Hosea 6:6).

• God has revealed Himself to us through creation (Romans 1:18-20), the Person of Jesus Christ (John 1:1, 14, 18), and His infallible Word (John 5:39).

• Our desire is that our teens have a heart knowledge that knows Him experientially, not just a head knowledge that knows about Him (Jeremiah 9:23-24).

Cultivate Christ-Likeness

• This is the God-ordained goal for each of His children (Romans 8:29).

• This can only take place as we abide in Him (John 15:4).

• Our desire is to help our teens act and think like God wants them to act and think (Philippians 2:5).

Apply Scriptural Truth to Daily Life

• It is the source for true happiness and wise decision-making (John 13:17; 2 Timothy 3:15).

• Failure to heed it has devastating consequences (Matthew 7:24-27).

• Our desire is to see our teens obey God and enjoy His blessing (Joshua 1:8).

Serve God and Others

• This focus conquers the natural self-centeredness of our age (Philippians 2:20-21).

• This is a distinguishing mark of leadership (Matthew 20:26-27).

• Our desire is that God would develop a servant's heart in our teens (Luke 22:27).
