KIDS
1 YEAR OLDS - 5TH GRADE
Jesus focused kids. Jesus focused families. Jesus focused servants.
Our heart for Calvary Monterey's Children's Ministry is to create an environment for kids, families, and our servant volunteers to focus on Jesus. We enjoy time together each week in worship, in the Bible, and in fun! We love reminding kids that they are loved and chosen by Jesus and we get to make the choice to follow Him everyday!
Calvary Kids is available for 1 year olds - 5th Grade! If your child(ren) are in this age group, you can register them to attend their class on Sunday morning.

YOUTH MINISTRIES
GRADE 6 – 12
Middle School (6th-8th Grade)
Tuesday nights 6-8pm & Sunday Mornings 11:00am
Meet the team
Our vision for the Middle School Ministry is to see Jesus famous in the lives of the middle schoolers in our church. Therefore, our mission is to facilitate opportunities for them to come to a complete knowledge of Jesus, being united together in love, and strengthened in moments of discouragement.
Middle School can often be a season filled with change, pressure, and exclusion. It is also a time in which questions rise about identity and purpose. Calvary Youth Ministry staff and volunteers work and pray diligently so that middle school students can discover a sense of belonging through their faith in God.
The incredible messages of love and inclusion in the gospel of Jesus Christ gives purpose to everything we do together. Our group seeks to model and experience God’s love as we study God's word together. We have tons of fun as we make lasting memories and lovingly welcome everyone who attends.
High School (9th - 12th Grade)
Tuesday nights 6-8pm
The High School Ministry at Calvary has the vision to see Jesus famous in the hearts and minds of our high schoolers. Our mission is to see students come into a personal relationship with Jesus. We pray that they are encouraged and challenged to grow in their faith through the following spiritual markers:
Salvation: Students learn about a healthy, whole, and biblical understanding of what it means to live as a Christian, setting oneself apart to live a life that is honoring to God.
Identity: They are challenged to be authentic and encourage others to live the same, being inspiring and genuine in a world that encourages us to be weary and fake.
Service: Students are encouraged to see ways in which they can use their skills to serve the one true God of the Bible, both in and through the local church.
Life is a gift and full of joy when the purpose of it is realized. Our High School group strives to study with sincerity, live selflessly, and love as Jesus did.

What to Expect
This is a safe place for students to discover their independence while learning the purpose of biblical boundaries. They can unplug from the pressures of social media in order to make authentic friendships, free of judgment. Our staff and volunteer leaders encourage a healthy life that brings students closer to the God that created them.
Throughout the calendar year, we study several books of the Bible from both the Old & New Testaments. We strive to teach in an expositional, verse by verse fashion that glorifies God and challenges the students. We make specific intentions to cover issues relevant to our youth such as identity, purpose, and living with a biblical worldview.
Our dynamic team of youth ministry volunteers lead small group discussions after the teaching, so that everyone can process and apply what they are learning about God together. You can check out our team by clicking through the photos above. Students are encouraged to bring their Bible with them each week. If not, we have extra Bibles they can take or borrow as needed.
On the last Tuesday of each month, we pause from weekly Bible study to have dinner and play games together. This is often a night where regular attending students will bring friends to check it out. It is a purposeful evening designed to foster deeper relationships among students, their peers and group leaders.
Parents are encouraged to check in on the church patio the first time they drop their students off for youth group to share their contact information and meet a leader.

WOMEN
All Women Welcome
With a heart to help women of all ages in our church connect, our women’s ministry seeks to help women grow in their love for the Lord and His Word and to be equipped to honor God in their day-to-day life as wives, professionals, mentors, daughters, and sisters. We seek to connect women in rich, life-giving, one-on-one relationships through our mentoring program. We also meet for seasonal Women’s Bible Study and yearly conferences that allow women to get away, get to know other women, and enjoy a time of focused Bible teaching.
“To know Him and make Him Known.”
Counseling
We seek to provide guidance and support for women through complimentary biblical counseling sessions.
Mentoring
Get connected with another woman in our church and walk through life in biblical fellowship together for a season.

Bible Studies and Life Groups
An important component of our spiritual growth is to be in fellowship with other women. Our two main avenues for fellowship with one another are Life Groups and Women’s Bible Study. Life Groups meet in the spring and fall quarters, and Bible Study is offered in the summer.

The Breakout groups are broken up into 4 categories; Men, Women, Men’s Accountability, and Friends and Family support groups. Come out on Monday nights to Calvary Monterey from 7pm to 9pm if you’re looking for Regeneration

CREATIVE
Music • Media • Production
The purpose of our Creative Ministry is to put the beauty of the Gospel on full display through art, technology, and creativity. This Ministry includes three teams.
The Music Team serves our church by providing the time and space to Honor God and pursue His Presence through song. When you encounter the living God you cannot leave unchanged.
The Media Team is a group of people who use photos, videos, and social media to capture and share moments of God working in and through our church community.
The Production Team’s goal is to aid in the delivery of worship and teaching. Technology helps us clearly hear and see the gospel message during a Sunday service and allows us to share that same message worldwide.
