CBC Children’s Ministries Registration
CBC Ministries Form for Children’s Choir, Awana, Sunday School & VBS (Printable Version)
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 3 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 (K-2nd) and Answers in Genesis (3rd-6th) 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.

Summer Ministries
KIDS’ CAMP – Kids’ Camp is a camping ministry staffed from our congregation to allow our children and their friends to enjoy a full week of fellowship and fun in a unique atmosphere. We offer day camp for Kindergarten through second grade (8:30 AM – 4:00 PM). Third thru sixth graders can come as either day or overnight campers. Crafts, games, swimming, special events, guest speakers, music, missions, and snack shop are all part of this special week. CBC’s Kids’ Camp is held for a week each July at Penn Grove Retreat.
