We meet in A3 (formerly known as WC3). From the welcome table, enter the main brick building and go down the hallway to behind the main auditorium. Follow the signs along the hallway and upstairs to Jr High.

Sunday Morning

Our main praise and teaching time (Sunday school) is Sunday mornings from 10:45am to 12:15pm (“Second Hour”). Jr Highers are expected to attend the main service from 9am – 10:30am (“First Hour”) in the main auditorium with their parents. If your adult Sunday school class meets first hour please feel free to contact a leader to make arrangements for your son or daughter to sit with them during the main worship service.

Sunday Night

On Sunday evenings, we split up by gender and generally by grade into “Small Groups” for discipleship, devotion, prayer, and life-on-life Christian fellowship from 6pm to 7:30pm. This time coincides with the adult classes taught in the main auditorium and High School youth group times. Child care is also provided so that there is something for every member of the family on Sunday evenings.

Small Group leaders:

From time-to-time, about once per month, all classes and small groups are preempted by a “Family Fellowship Night” where we all gather together in the main auditorium for Church Family activities such as baptisms, baby dedications, welcoming new members (“right hand of fellowship”), and etc. Check the Announcements page for dates.

Wednesday Night

Wednesday evenings the Jr High Youth Group meets in A3 (aka - WC3) for praise, fellowship, Bible Study, and prayer from 6:30pm to 8:30pm (please note: we run longer than AWANA and shorter than High School).

Events

About once per month we have an event to foster outreach, service, and/or fellowship among the students. Please check the announcements link for more information; flyer's and postcards will also be sent home from time-to-time.

Camps

We hold two camps per year. Our smaller Winter camp is in conjunction with the High School ministry and will be during the week of Jan 18th to the 21st , 2008 (Martin Luther King Jr. weekend).  The summer camp for 2008 is currently scheduled for the second week in August, but this may change.

Philosophy of Ministry

The Jr High Ministry exists to come behind parents in their God given responsibility to teach, train, and evangelize their children. We do not wish to usurp the role of the parent in God’s design, but rather to reinforce godly principles that are being taught at home.

We recognize Jr High is a time of evaluating and reevaluating the things that have been taught from early age and coming to grips with what is to be believed and why. It is a time of many changes; not only are Jr High students possibly attending a new school, choosing more and different friends, but they are now able to take on increasingly more responsibility and receive more privileges. They are maturing mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It is often a time when people come to “own” their faith. Some finally understand the gospel, repent, and put their faith in Christ. Some final rejections of salvation take place at this age, as well.

We strive to create an environment where Jr Highers are regularly encountering the gospel both to evangelize and to be evangelized. We promote the fellowship of believers and call the students to participate in the local body of Christ at Calvary Bible Church in obedience to scripture.
