Student Ministry

A Movement to Jesus.  A Movement with Jesus.
A Movement for Jesus.

More Than a Ministry - A Movement for Christ

At Calvary, our Student Ministry is committed to helping students discover who Christ is and understand what He has done for them. We focus on teaching the foundational truths of the gospel—how Jesus lived, died, and rose again to offer salvation to all. Through dynamic teaching, engaging Bible studies, and personal mentorship, we strive to help students grasp the depth of God's love and His purpose for their lives.

We believe that spiritual growth doesn't have to be boring—it can be vibrant, meaningful, and full of joy. Whether we’re diving into Scripture, hanging out at events, or supporting one another through life’s ups and downs, our community is one where students feel seen, valued, and challenged to grow in their faith.

But our mission doesn’t stop there. We are dedicated to discipling students so they can personally know Christ and take ownership of their faith. We believe that faith should be an active, transformative journey, and we aim to equip students with the tools they need to live out their beliefs. As they grow in their relationship with Jesus, we encourage them to step out boldly, becoming the light of the world and sharing His love with others. Our goal is to empower the next generation to live with purpose, make an impact, and boldly proclaim the gospel wherever they go—all while growing together, forming lifelong friendships, and having a great time doing it.

Serving with Purpose, Leading with Faith

At Calvary, we believe in equipping the next generation to live out their faith through action. Our youth group is passionate about making a difference—whether that means helping those in need in our local community, joining national outreach efforts, or traveling abroad on mission trips. These hands-on experiences give students the opportunity to share God’s love in real, tangible ways while building relationships, sharing hope, and meeting practical needs.

Through each of these opportunities, our students grow in their relationship with God and develop a heart for others. They’re learning what it means to lead with compassion, serve with purpose, and live boldly for Christ. We’re honored to partner with parents in this journey—raising up young people who are grounded in their faith and ready to make a lasting impact for Christ.

Supporting Students, Shaping Disciples

Our youth are not just the future of the Church, they are a vital part of it today. We’re committed to walking alongside students as they grow in their faith, discover their identity in Christ, and step into the purpose God has for them.

Our support goes beyond Sunday mornings. We show up—to their games, concerts, school plays, and more—because we believe presence matters. Whether it's cheering from the stands or praying before a performance, we want our students to know they’re deeply valued and loved.

Through intentional mentorship, Christ-centered teaching, and opportunities to lead, serve, and connect, we’re creating a community where every student feels seen, supported, and spiritually equipped. 

Where Fun Meets Faith

Following Jesus should be an adventure! Our youth group is packed with exciting events all year long that bring students together for fun, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Whether it’s tubing down Ichetucknee Springs, catching some air at the trampoline park, or diving into truth at our Poolside Studies, there’s always something to look forward to.

From epic trips like Whitewater Rafting, Summer Waves, and our Snow Skiing Winter Retreat to laid-back hangouts like bonfires, Top Golf outings, and Game Days—every event is a chance to build friendships and grow in your faith. We also hit the road for Christian concerts and gather for special nights like Friendsgiving, Palentines, and our annual Christmas Party.

With every moment, we’re creating experiences that help students grow in community, fun, and faith!
