Youth Ministry
Youth Ministries at Calvary
Calvary UMC provides wonderful, exciting opportunities for students to form great friendships, serve others, and grow in knowledge of God! The goal of our family ministries team is to offer an accepting space for youth to have fun, be creative, and to learn about Jesus. Calvary values the importance of youth involvement in worship. Youth at calvary are able to particpate in our music ministries, read liturgy, and serve on missions.

Holy Communion
Holy Communion is one of the main sacraments of the Methodist Church. We are currently serving Communion every Sunday during the 9 a.m. worship and the first Sunday of the month at both the 9 a.m. and the 11 a.m. service. After the pastor officiates the sacrament, we offer multiple ways to receive the elements to accommodate different levels of comfort. Methodist practice an Open Table, which means that "all who love God, who earnestly repent of their sin, and seek to live in peace with one another" are invitied to take Communion.
Baptism
Through baptism, we are born anew by the free gift of God and placed within this family called church. As with most families, we inherit a narrative, in this case God's mighty acts narrated in scripture. The narrative we inherit is not only one of the past, but one into which we are now invited and the Spirit empowers us to embody it in our own lives, here and now. Calvary upholds the UMC's belief in one baptism and offers baptismal services for families and new members. To learn more about baptism in the UMC click here.
