We want you to connect at Calvary, so your faith can form and grow.

Connect

Let's connect during the week.

Christian faith formation is a lifelong journey. That's why we are doing our best to make it easy for you to connect with God and others in authentic relationships throughout the week. No one person is an island and the faith journey is not meant to be done alone, so are working together to make it easier for you to join a faith community in this season and beyond.

Children's Ministries

Kidzone

In Calvary’s KidZone program, we teach kid-friendly gospel lessons through Bible study and activities. Each Sunday from 9:15-9:55am we dive into a story-book Bible lesson, paired with exciting crafts and drawings to bring the message to life. We love to break out in song, dance, and games to keep the energy high and the joy flowing! Our goal is to equip children with the truth of God’s Word, helping them shine as the bright lights He created them to be. We’d love for you to join us!

Register your kids for Children's Ministries here at Calvary Lutheran!

Faith Formation for Youth

Confirmation Youth Group (grades 9-12)

Confirmation

We will be adjusting our Confirmation process for this fall. This milestone ministry invites students in grades 6-8 to explore their Christian faith in preparation for an affirmation of their baptism which is held on the 3rd Sunday in May.

Youth Group (grades 9-12)

Calvary’s Youth Group (grades 9-12) is Christ-centered and focused on faith, fellowship and fun! During the school year, there are many different opportunities where students might feel loved and part of a larger, deeply connected family. Through activities and service, we help students discover their gifts, deepen their relationship with Christ, and build lasting friendships. Come join in the fun where every individual is valued and welcomed!

Library

Our Church Library is open each weekday from 10 AM - 3 PM and on Sunday mornings from 10- noon. Perhaps you are doing some biblical research or are looking for a devotional book, our library can be of service to you. Click here to see the titles that are available to you through our library!

Calvary’s Library Welcomes You

Our library is open anytime when the building is open, and any book may be borrowed on a self-checkout basis. You can view all the titles in the collection on the Calvary website (find the link under “How We Connect” at calvarylutheranchurch.org; look in the “Adults” section)

The original building plan for our sanctuary, which opened in 2005 with a price tag of $5.8 million, included this library.

Ken Treshow, a longtime member and retired librarian for the University of California at San Diego, worked many hours organizing the initial library collection. He would not let his cerebral palsy define his life. He dedicated his life to library work to help others. He passed away in 2017, but his strong, giving spirit of service and dedication to our church lingers in this room.

Our library had been neglected for some time and was in dire need of updating. We tossed many outdated, worn-out books. To allow for easier browsing, I entered all 865 titles into a Google doc so that anyone may view the collection from home. This digital inventory will allow Jeff Moeller and others to manage the collection since adding or deleting a title is a fairly simple process.

Today, the thrust of our collection is the Christian life and the Bible. More than 60 titles from Mel Kieschnick’s personal library were added recently. The gift books to the children's section by Bill and Carole Hilderbrand are worth mentioning.

There is no book budget or personnel for the library, and its value depends on the donation of quality books. Together, we’ll need to continually prune and augment the collection to enhance its relevance for the community. It’s up to us to fill the shelves with good books.

Many thanks to Tasha Donahue, Jutta Schmidt, Glee Thompson, Mel and Jane Kieschnick, Quinn Weixel, and Jeff Moeller for their help in this renewal project.
