At The Shepherd’s Fold (TSF) we provide all-day care for children 6 weeks through pre-K on either a 3- or 5-day per week schedule. Students in the 2-year-old rooms and older experience a structured, daily preschool program. Engaging activities, fun crafts, daily story time, Bible time, self-expressing art, sensory activities, and well supervised playtime encourage each child to learn and explore through a variety of experiences. Our staff will guide, support, and lovingly nurture them toward their God-given potential. We recognize that each child develops differently, but that each needs the opportunity to explore the world around them in creative ways that engage all of their senses in a safe, clean, and loving environment.

“That they might set their hope in God…and keep His commandments”
Psalm 78:7
The Calvary Kids’ children’s ministry at Calvary Bible Church includes boys and girls from birth through grade 6. The Bible is the textbook in every area of ministry. We have a three-fold purpose for each child enrolled. First, we seek to lead each one to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Second, the boys and girls are discipled as preparation for goal #3, which is service. Our philosophy is to honor God in all that we do with our children while supporting what the parents are teaching in the home.
For our workers we aim to provide on-going training so our workers can be adequately prepared for their responsibilities.
Preschool – Nursery through Kindergarten
The Preschool Department currently has 4 classes geared for your child’s growth. In each class there is a structured program that includes playtime, singing, Bible story, memory verse, activity time, and snack. These classes are staffed with faithful workers who nurture and give the best care possible to each child.
Sunday School Grades 1-6
The purpose of our Sunday School ministry is to systematically teach God’s Word, so our boys and girls can grow to love and serve Jesus. Through the teaching of God’s Word, teachers emphasize the importance of reading God’s Word and applying it to daily life. Currently, we are using “The Gospel Project,” curriculum, a chronological Bible study that shows how all Scripture points us to Jesus. All ages will be equipped to defend the Bible, and become conformed to the image of Christ, as they apply God’s Word in their everyday lives. Classes meet from 9:30-10:15 AM each week.
Kids’ Worship
Kids’ Worship is held during the Morning Worship time, 10:30 AM-12:00 PM. We offer one class for kindergartners through second graders in room 205, and another class for third through sixth graders in room 201. These classes dovetail with the Sunday School’s Gospel Project curriculum. Please see the Sunday School explanation above for more detail.
Children’s Choir
The children’s choir is open to first through sixth graders with practices scheduled on Sunday evenings in preparation for performances. Contact the CBC office for the practice schedule. This time together is concentrated on the holiday season for performance as well as a Children’s Choir musical.
Family Connection Service Are you looking to stay with your children during the worship service? Or possibly for a more informal setting with other believers? This is for you! The Sunday morning Worship Service is now lived streamed directly into Boyer Hall (gym) at 10:30 AM.

Listen! Can you hear a howler monkey screeching and insects buzzing? Look! Do you see a sloth hanging from a tree and a jaguar crouching, ready to pounce? Smell! Is that the aroma of tropical flowers wafting through the air? Touch! Do you feel soft grass under your feet and gentle rain on your skin? Taste! Is that delicious milk from a coconut and exotic spices from the rainforest? Join us in a world of wonder that will delight our senses while captivating our hearts and minds at The Great Jungle Journey: An Epic Cruise from Genesis to Revelation. We will cruise through jungle rivers, making stops at seven ports of call along the way—each starting with a C. These represent seven key biblical events—the 7 C’s of History.
Mark your calendars! Your children can learn what the 7 C’s of history are as this VBS Jungle Journey will take place right here at Calvary Bible Church on June 24-28, 2024 and is open to 4-year-olds through outgoing 6th graders. Keep your binoculars focused here for more information coming soon!
