WELCOME TO THE SPOT!

The Calvary Church Middle School Ministry for youth in grades 6, 7, and 8. The Spot is a community where we CONNECT with God and others to GROW in our faith so we REACH Orange County and the world for Jesus Christ. This is The Spot where you belong!

WINTER 2026!

This season we are excited to CONNECT through our summer programs, events, and gatherings! We are seeking to GROW as we study the Word of God on Sundays and throughout the week! We are ready to REACH others as we invite our friends to church and serve in Orange County!

midDLE SCHOOL MEETING TIMES + EVENTS

Each week we check-in on the Platform in The Underground (just through the double-doors on ground level of C Building).  Students will have some time to hang out and play in The Underground.  Then we'll move into the Blue Line for group games and connection activities.  We will engage in worship through music and experience growth through God’s Word.

Spot Sundays!

Sundays | 11:00am - 12:15pm
The Student Underground

When does Middle School meet on Sunday?
The Spot ONLY meets at 11:00am on Sunday mornings in The Underground for games, worship, Bible and connection. We really value bringing middle school students together to facilitate new friendships, provide deeper connections, and learn how to walk like Jesus. Let's connect on Sundays at Calvary!

What do we do during the 9:00am Service? 
We want our middle school students to be a part of worship in the main service as part of the body of Christ. You can sit with your family or with Pastor Josh on the right-hand side of the Worship Center (a few rows behind the ASL section). Another great option is to serve with younger kids at Calvary at 9:00am. Find out more here!

Fruit Takes Time!

New Year...New Sermon Series - January 2026

This series pushes against the instant-change solutions promised in every ad and fad, and encourages Christians to open their hearts to the fruit-producing work of the Spirit. The "Fruits of the Spirit" are nine virtues described in the Bible (Galatians 5:22-23) that the Holy Spirit cultivates in believers' lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These qualities reflect God's character and are seen as the natural result of a life lived in relationship with Him, contrasting with the "works of the flesh." All true Christians receive the Holy Spirit and grow into Christ's likeness over time.

 

 

SWEET RELATIONSHIPS!

New Sermon Series - February 2026

Throughout the month of February we will be talking about all types of relationships…from family and friends to love and dating. Let’s dig into the Bible to see what God says about relationships and loving others well. Relationships can be sweet, but also sour, so let’s set some healthy goals!

1 Corinthians 13:4-7- Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
