The nursery is provided for infants up to 2 years of age for Sunday School and Sunday morning and evening worship services and most other church-related functions. Calvary's Nursery is exceptional for two reasons. First, the ladies who work with the babies and toddlers are ladies that have been gifted by God with a special love and understanding for children. Many of our ladies have been with us for over twenty years and are members of Calvary. The Lord has blessed them with a zeal to provide a safe, loving atmosphere for the little ones placed in their care. Secondly, Calvary screens all nursery workers and promotes a high standard of safety and cleanliness which combined with the love of the workers makes our nursery as close to "home" as possible. The Deacon-of-the-week makes periodic checks of the nursery area to insure that all is well. The nursery is equipped with a weather alert radio and a signaling device to announce to parents in the sanctuary when their assistance is needed with their child.

Sunday school classes are provided for children 2 year olds through 6th grade. Calvary  uses a Bible-based curriculum. Age appropriate materials for each age group is used to encourage each child to know, love and serve the Lord Jesus Christ.  All children's ministry workers are screened before being selected for the various age groups.

For the Children during Church

Young preschool (ages 2 and 3 years old) children start their worship time with their teacher in their classroom for Bible teaching focused on their needs and comprehension level.

"Children's Bible Connection" is provided for children in Pre-K through grade 2 during the classic worship service.  The children have their own worship and  Bible teaching service focused on their needs and comprehension level.

"IMPORTANT STUFF"

Sunday School for Junior High (Grades 7, and 8) meets each Sunday in room 9 of the Family Life Center. A time of fellowship is followed by a topical lesson based on Scriptural truths. They are taught in a manner which addresses the specific needs of junior highers at a level to which they can relate.

Sunday School for High School Students (Grades 9 -12) meets each Sunday in the "Depot" (which was once an actual train depot in Ryland). The group is challenged and developed spiritually by our Pastor of Family Ministries as well as a group of dedicated young adults and parents. The High School youth are a close knit group who are active in numerous CBC ministries. The group is representative of the many public, private and home schools in the Huntsville area.   All youth workers, chaperones, and helpers are screened before being allowed to work with our youth.
