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!

SUMMER 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.

YOU BELONG HERE!

Let Him Cook - Sermon on The Mount

Sermon Series - Summer 2026

When people say “LET HIM COOK,” they mean give him space—something good is about to happen. All throughout the Bible, we see that when people gave Jesus room to teach, move, and lead… lives were changed. This summer we are studying The Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5-7. Instead of rushing past His words, we’re choosing to slow down, listen and “LET HIM COOK.” Jesus has something important to say, so let’s lean in!

 

 

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!
