Our Ministries Our ministries are varied and growing...   Sunday School Our excellent staff of teachers assures that you and your children will enjoy a vibrant educational experience. The Pastor of Christian Education, Sunday School Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Youth Pastor, and Children's Department Leaders form a leadership team which is responsible for coordinating all activities within this program. Power House, our youth program at 11:00AM, focuses on life issues from a biblical perspective. Our children's program at 9:30AM uses engaging curriculum to reinforce parental teaching. We work hard to assure that our teaching throughout the Sunday School program is biblically and doctrinally sound.   ABFs During both 9:30AM and 11:00AM we offer Adult Bible Fellowships, which we refer to as ABFs. They are groups for study and fellowship, which have been organized around the Sunday morning Sunday School hour. They have three distinguishing characteristics #1. Adult: they are designed for adults, from college age to seniors. #2. Bible: they major on teaching and application of the Word of God to daily living. #3. Fellowship: they major on relationship building, encouragement, caring, and love.   Student Ministeries STRIVE is a community based ministry of teens and leaders who purpose to grow close to God and others. Power House meets Sunday mornings from 10:50AM to 12:15PM for student led praise and worship, age appropriate Bible study and hanging out with friends. V.I.B.eS. (Very Interesting Bible Study) is a weekly small group Bible Study for middle school students, and is a place where young teens will have fun and be spiritually challenged. They meet weekly on Wednesdays from 7:00-8:30PM at the Youth Pastor's home. ConneXion is for high school students who seek to grow closer to God and each other in small groups on Sunday nights at the church from 6:00-7:00PM. There are a variety of activities planned throughout the year which include summer camps, winter retreats, youth mission trips, fun events and outreach events. We STRIVE to be a place where teens can belong.   Children's Worship Our Children's Worship ministry is characterized by the same standards described in our Sunday School program. Children's Worship runs concurrent with our 11:00AM Worship Service and includes preschoolers through grade five. This program provides worry free care and teaching for the young, while parents enjoy uplifting worship, spiritual renewal, and bible teaching.   AWANA Clubs Awana Clubs International is an organization committed to helping local churches reach boys and girls for Jesus Christ. As a chartered member of Awana Clubs, Calvary offers the following programs: Cubbies (3-4 years old), Sparks (K-2nd grade), T&T for boys in girls in third through sixth grades, Junior Varsity (7th-8th grade) and AKX Varsity (9th22th grade). Nearly 200 children gather Wednesday evenings at 7:00PM to learn God's word and grow spiritually under the guidance of dedicated leaders.   Women's Ministry The Christian Women's Fellowship is led by an excellent leadership team. This ministry exists for the purpose of educating, uplifting, encouraging, and promoting Christian fellowship among women. The primary aspects of this ministry currently include Precept Bible study, Retreats, and monthly activities.   Formen Ministry The men of Calvary lead busy, hectic lives and our men's ministry (which we call Foremen Ministries) provides opportunities for fellowship, friendship, and prayer. Currently this ministry includes a monthly Men's Prayer Breakfast, a co-ed Christian Softball league, an annual Men's Retreat, seminars and periodic outreach events.   Senior Adult's Ministry Our senior adults call themselves C.O.P.s(Calvary's Older People). They meet the first Wednesday of each month for Lunch at various locations in the area. They also meet for breakfast the third Saturday of each month at Old Country Buffet.   Music Ministry Music and Worship is a vital part of Calvary. We have three choirs that participate in services throughout the year: Youth Choir, Children's Choir(k-5th grade), and Preschool Choir(4-5 years old). We also have Worship Teams, that aid in leading worship during services as well as a Praise and Worship band.   Missions The people of Calvary Baptist Church are prayerfully and financially committed to pursuing the lost among the nations of the world. We recognize our responsibility as good stewards in presenting the gospel to an ever-changing world. To maximize the efforts of our local church, we intend to direct our missionary support towards the most unchurched areas of the globe and will focus our efforts on those countries that fall within the 10/40 window. Although this remains our primary objective, circumstances may require support to other cross-cultural missionary efforts in other localities.   C.H.A.T. C.H.A.T. is Calvary's Homeschoolers Achieving Together. CHAT's purpose is to support Home School families by offering educational, social, and service opportunities within our church and community. CHAT's functions vary and can include: service projects, field trips, sharing of educational resources, mentoring, support, and fellowship.   Nursery/Toddler This program targets the early childhood level. The goal of this ministry is to make sure that children are being cared for, comforted, and nurtured. Even though the little students in this ministry are not yet able to read or write it is the goal of this ministry to make sure that the love of Christ is exemplified in the time and attention given to each child by the ministry care givers.   Mommy & Me Mommy & Me is a support program that focuses on mothers with young children. Each week Mothers and their children enjoy a time of fellowship with other mothers, while their children enjoy a time of supervised play with other children. One of the highlights is when the children come together to hear a story read by one of our ministry leaders, while sitting on Mommy's lap. Many times the group meets at the playground or water park. Even mommy deserves a day out from time to time.   Other Ministries Fall Festival - our alternative Halloween program Operation Blessing - our Christmas outreach, charity program VBS - our summer Vacation Bible School program Meal Teams - a ministry that provides meals for our sick and shut in Greeters Team - our welcoming team whose job it is to greet each visitor with a hearty handshake and a warm smile     Home | About Us | Ministries | Beliefs | Directions | Staff | Calendar | Good News   Calvary Baptist Church, 15880/15890 Crest Drive, Woodbridge, VA 22191 (703) 670-7217; (703) 670-2650; Fax: (703) 897-0333   cbcwoodbridge@cbc-email.org | www.calvarybaptistonline.org   Questions, comments, or suggestions about this web site?
