Mission:
The Calvary Youth Program seeks to provide opportunities for youth to engage their faith through relevant and meaningful events. We work to provide age-appropriate ministry to our church, school, and community. Our ultimate goal is to lead our youth into a deeper relationship with God and His people.

Goals:

• Establish a meeting time for 5th – 8th grade youth that is friendly to both Calvary students as well as students outside of Calvary Lutheran School.
