SET APART!

New Sermon Series - April & May 2026

What does it really mean to live set apart? In this series through 1 Peter, we’ll explore how following Jesus changes the way we live, think, and treat others. Even when life is hard or we feel out of place, God calls us to be different—to be set apart for Him. 1 Peter reminds us that our identity isn’t based on what others think, but on who we are in Christ. As we learn to stand strong in our faith, we’ll discover how to live with courage, hope, and purpose—shining for Jesus in a world that needs Him.

 

 

Spot Sundays!

Sundays | 11:00am - 12:15pm
The Student Underground
*NOT MEETING EASTER SUNDAY! Join us at Calvary's Main Services at 8:30am or 10:30am!

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!
