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!

SPRING 2025!

This season we are excited to CONNECT through our school-year 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!

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.

ALPHA YOUTH SERIES!

Wednesdays in April + May | 7:00-8:30pm
The Calvary Church Patio

Alpha Youth is launching at The Spot on Wednesday, April 2!  Alpha Youth is a great opportunity to explore the Christian faith in a friendly, open, and informal environment. We'll be enjoying dinner, games, and a great discussion! By fostering curiosity and connection, Alpha Youth helps cultivate a vibrant spiritual community that inspires growth, encourages leadership, and strengthens faith among the next generation. More details and ways to help out coming soon!

ALPHA AYOUTH TRAINING: If your student is interested in helping lead Alpha Youth this season we are having a short training meeting this Sunday, March 30 after The Spot (12:20-1:30pm) in The Underground. We are looking for students who wanna take the next step in serving, leading, and caring for others. Paul challenges us to be ambassadors for Christ…and this is the perfect opportunity to lean into that calling.

ALPHA YOUTH TRAINING

 

Our goal is to create a fun, comfortable, and inviting atmosphere for students, which naturally includes good food, fun games, cool prizes, and super kind people. If you want to help make Alpha Youth an awesome experience for new students please consider supporting us by praying, serving, or donating food and prizes. Every little bit helps. We appreciate YOU!
