Children's classes are available in each of our services from nursery to 5th grade. Classes are specifically designed for each age group. Our goal is to communicate God's love to the children at their level of understanding. In grades 1-5 we use the Calvary Chapel curriculum.
Elementary age go into the S. Summit for their own time of worship with a live band and the younger children have traveling worship leaders that stop by their classes for worship.
Children who attend classes including 1st through 5th grade will get a complete overview of the Old and New Testament. We teach the children to ask three questions:
1. What does the Bible say?
2. What does the Bible mean?
3. What does God want me to do?
Wednesday night classes start at 7 p.m. Childcare is offered for infants through 2 years old. Classes are available for 3's, 4's, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten through grade 3. The boys and girls meet separately in grades 4 and 5.
Who Teaches Our Classes?
At Calvary Chapel our teachers commit themselves to serve in our classrooms in six-month increments. This provides our children with stability and consistency in their classes as relationships are built and cultivated.
Training
It is our goal to equip our teachers, helpers and volunteers to serve. Towards that end, we offer the following avenues for training:
1. We host a Children's Ministry Conference each spring with a variety of workshops to choose from.
2. Online training sessions, seminars, newsletters and curriculum from Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa.
3. Link to Children's Ministry Handbook, our policies and procedures manual for teachers, helpers and other Children's Ministry volunteers.
4. Teachers Orientation meetings are held two months prior to each new six month session. Check our children's calendar for specific topics and other details.

CHoSEN (Calvary HOmeSchool Educational Network) is a network composed of Moms and Educators who have a desire to reach out to the homeschooling community using their gifts and talents to help educate and encourage their students to be "Lifetime" learners.
CHoSEN Co-op understands that homeschooling is just one option for educating your children, as well as public schooling and private schooling. There is no ONE way. Although we are a homeschool group and we support and promote homeschooling, we do not feel that it is the only or best way for everyone. Each family is unique, each child is special and each time is for the moment. If homeschooling is an appropriate alternative for you, then we are here to help you on your journey.
We are a Christian program that desires to show the love of Christ to every person who walks through our doors. We have HIGH standards and guidelines for all participating in CHoSEN, which ensures your child the ability to learn in a safe and Christ-like manner.

The Vision: Calvary Chapel Missions
As an outreach of Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg Missions Department, short-term missions exist to be the hands and feet of Jesus with the goal of spiritual transformation and growth of the local community and team members, resulting in church planting, global awareness, growth of leaders, expansion of faith in action and exploration of long-term missions.
I. Commitment to Supporting Church Planting and Nurturing
"do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!" John 4:35
"The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." Matthew 9:37-38
"...and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!... So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:13-15, 17
As a priority, Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg is committed to supporting missionary endeavors that involve raising up indigenous churches, with the end goal of being a self supporting and a locally run Christian entity. Our emphasis is on Bible believing Calvary Chapel or Calvary style ministries (ministries consistent with our values). The ministries are defined by dependence on the Holy Spirit in directing its operation and ministry and the four functions of the church as defined by Acts 2:42:
* Leading people into a greater understanding of the whole counsel of God through his Word
* Developing fellowship
* Participating in communion among believers
* Placing priority on prayer.
Our short-term mission trips will strive to empower and support the local people we work with to continue to change lives in their communities, even after we have come and gone. We will only participate in outreach that is locally initiated, ongoing and involves follow-up after the team has left.
II. Commitment to Missionaries Sent from Local Fellowship
Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg is committed to supporting missionaries from our local fellowship by sending short-term teams. Our priority will be to support missionary efforts that lead to indigenous church planting or nurturing and care for widows and orphans.
III. Commitment to Sound Principles While Involved at a Location
We will:
* Avoid situations that lead to paternalism at all costs (i.e., creating an environment where the nationals feel they cannot continue the work on their own).
* Avoid creating a dependency on our resources (money, time and involvement).
* Encourage national involvement and ownership whenever possible.
IV. Commitment to Develop a Mission Minded Body through Short-Term Missions
Our goals for the church body for short-term missions are three fold:
* To raise up Christian leaders that are sent out as missionaries from the local body.
* To create a missions minded church body with a global perspective.
* To build up Christian leaders at Calvary Chapel.
V. Commitment to a Holistic View of Mission
We believe that everyone is called to serve the kingdom of God and we believe that Missions involvement is for every believer. As a result, we are committed to three types of teams:
* Service/Encouragement Trips (Missions Level 1 - service and lighter construction)
* Work Teams (Missions Level 2 - medical, construction, etc.)
* Primarily Evangelism (Missions Level 3 - intense ministry)
VI. Commitment to Building Relationships with Nationals
We will focus on participating in the lives of the people in the community as well as working with them, as opposed to doing something for them. Our priority is to be involved in work that involves nationals, allowing for maximum interaction and opportunities for relationships to be formed on an individual basis as well as on a community level. Building relationships takes time, and we will prioritize supporting locations where there is an opportunity to return to participate with the local church or organization.
VII. Commitment to Long-Term Partnership and Involvement
We are committed to developing long-term participation and partnership with the host organization. We will continually reevaluate the process and our involvement to ensure we are helping and not hindering the local work. In addition, we believe that long-term involvement of participants in missions is strengthened through follow up events and debriefing. As our focus is long-term, our training will reflect that vision.
In all things, Calvary Chapel will continue to allow the Lord to define the specific direction of the Short-Term Missions Program; however, in a desire to be consistent and to be focused with the resources God has given us, we have defined this mission statement.
Applications for future trips are available at the Ministry Info Center or by linking to the Short-Term Mission Trip Application from our Web site.

While tragic, disasters often provide a unique opportunity for us to show the love of Christ in otherwise inaccessible locations. Our desire at Calvary Chapel St Petersburg is to touch God's world by using our time, energy and resources. We believe that God has blessed us for such a time as this.
An emergency disaster relief team that is properly equipped in medicine, dentistry, search and rescue and construction can have an eternal impact on people devastated by a natural disaster.
Calvary Chapel St Petersburg has partnered with Arise Medical Missions (www.arise.ms) to train and equip a disaster relief team of 40-50 people who are prepared to send teams of five to eight available people at a moment's notice to share God's love wherever they are called. A medical background is helpful but not required as we conduct extensive disaster mission training on a consistent basis.

Calvary Corps is a ministry of helps that was designed to bridge the gap between short-term and long-term missions. Often team members leave a mission trip with a desire to do something more or to explore a call to missions. Calvary Corps provides an opportunity for people to spend a month to a year assisting a full time career missionary or foreign church with their ministry goals. In this way, both parties win: The kingdom of God is expanded and the Corps member gains experience in missions!
We have several opportunities to serve right now teaching English in central Guatemala, volunteering at the Rhea of Hope orphanage in Eastern Guatemala, building fish farms in India and administration work in Kenya.

Bart De Craene
Pastor Of Calvary Chapel "North" St. Petersburg, Russia
www.calvarychapel.com/nsp
As the Pastor of CCN St. Petersburg in Russia, I see a lot of needs in our church that are not being met, and I am not able to meet them all. I believe that (short or long-term) missionaries could impact the lives of many Russian people by coming alongside and helping out in a practical way. I especially want to underscore the difference missionaries can make in sharing their spiritual and practical experience. It's not just about doing the work (because then every time a missionary leaves we'd only be worse off) but mainly about helping the Russian people see the need, know Jesus better, love Him and others more, and do the ministry themselves out of love for Jesus. Some of the ways a "Calvary Corps" short term missionary could help us are listed below:
1. Worship:
• Setting up / taking down equipment every Sunday + preparing hall for service
• Making shelves in the storage room, so we can actually store something.
• Some carpentry work: make a box on wheels that fits soundboard, wires, power transformer, etc.
• Doing sound on Sundays + Teach our guys how to do sound better + spiritual coaching of sound guy
• Helping people mature in the spiritual aspect to worship.
2. Nursery:
• Cleaning up room before service starts on Sundays, so moms and babies feel comfortable enough to come and stay.
• Help out in our tiny children's ministry: together with one of the moms/dads - play with the kids, support the young mom's, help our people develop this ministry as good as possible in the conditions given.
3. Men's ministry:
• Help out in discipling our guys. Encourage those that work. Remind them of their responsibilities and calling (in the church and in general). Helping them mature.
• Perhaps start a home fellowship.
• Organize some fun activities to strengthen the bond among the men.
4. Women's ministry:
• Join the weekly bible-studies. Encourage the sisters in their walk with the Lord
• Organize some fun activities to strengthen the bond among the women
5. Web-site:
• Take pictures of church activities
• Sharing know-how with our responsible. Or train a new person from scratch.
6. English-clubs for college students:
• Share your testimony, share your life with the young non-Christians that show up.
• Play fun games with them with one goal: Making contact to share the gospel afterwards.
• Help out as an English teacher.
7. Administrative / computer work:
• Help making our bulletins "fresh" + encourage the people involved in this work
• Edit the Word files with all the songs for the worship team, print them again, make new folders...
• Design invitations to our church activities + share your know-how and spiritual insights.
8. Kids ministry in Gruzino (village)/ or at an orphanage:
• Help out with planning (program / games / food)
• Buy food for the kids
• Play with the kids
Agape runs several programs including:
1. An orphanage with 280 kids.
2. An old age home.
3. Direct support of a church planting movement that has led to the establishment of 95 churches of which Agape is still a primary supplier of support.
4. Vocational training aimed at Dalit women-primarily through a nursing school and a sewing program.
5. A VBS program that reaches about 425,000 (that's not a typo) kids each summer.
The couple that runs the organization are about 70 and were orphans themselves. They receive no substantive support from the outside relative to the scale of their ministry. As a result of their low budget and an aggressive anti-Christian movement in India, many of their pastors are being enticed with financial arrangements to leave the service of Christ.
A local foundation run by Calvary Chapel businessmen has a desire to set up fish farms. The goal is to allow the recipient ministry to become more independent of the need for foreign donations. We plan to establish a fish farm in Jangaon at the end of this year. Although they have the heart to do it, we do not believe that Agape has the staff to train their pastors in personal fish farming. In the ideal outcome, each of the 95 pastors will learn micro-fish farming techniques. As such, they will be able to generate sufficient income to support the bulk of their own needs and be able to continue in the ministry. In addition, orphans and others can be trained at the main compound to grow fish to supplement the kids' diets with protein and/or sell the fish on the market to help fund the operations of Agape. I would expect it to take 1 1/2 years to train pastors in this regard.
Jangaon is about 2 hours NE of Hyderabad by car. It is a smallish city. It is possible to stay right on the compound with the orphans. Map

The Calvary Care Center is a partnership between Calvary Chapel, Wyngate Apartments and Kingdom Communities to help meet physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the area residents and our community. The apartment provides the space and Calvary Chapel provides the services.
Our desire is to be the hands and feet of Jesus to our community by building relationships with the goal of sharing the gospel message.
There are many opportunities to get involved, all with flexible hours and various time commitments. You can choose whether you serve weekly, monthly, quarterly, or occasionally. This is a very practical way to share your giftings, talents and abilities with others.
A few ways volunteers are needed are to:
• Manage and organize a clothes closet so people from the community can come and select free clothing
• Offer specialty classes (ex: teach a skill such as budgeting, guitar, knitting, computers, nutrition, parenting, etc.)
• Offer a Bible Study

In Mark 8:34-35, Jesus tells His disciples:
"Whoever desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel will save it."
Calvary House is a discipleship ministry for men who, having come to hate the sin in their life, desire to make a radical commitment to Christ. Their commitment is carried out by their willingness to submit to our leadership throughout the duration of their time with us. Our purpose is to train them to live for God's glory by learning to fight the war against sin in the interest of advancing His Kingdom.
The men live on our properties in a structured environment that provides accountability and encouragement. Calvary House is not a drug program. Many of the men we minister to do come from a life of drug abuse, but we do not rely on methods employed by Recovery centers in our ministering. Consistently, we do not shelter the men from reality by placing them in an artificial environment, like a therapeutic community. We believe they are to be "in the world, but not of the world". Therefore, they work to provide for themselves and their families. They get plugged into to the life of our Church, and they undergo consistent theological and practical training through both verbal and object lessons.
Our vision is discipleship.
Our purpose is the glory of God.
Our method is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
REFERRAL BASED
The Calvary House is not a crisis shelter, treatment center or half way house. Therefore, those who are interested must personally call to set up an interview or get more information. An individual may also write to the address listed below, expressing his desire for involvement in the ministry

Do you call Calvary Chapel your church home and are you looking to
connect and get involved but don't know where to start? We have Connecting
Coaches who can meet with you one-on-one and help you learn about
small groups, serving opportunities and where you might fit in. "Let us
consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
Let us not give up meeting together... but let us encourage one another...,"
Hebrews 10:24-25
A crucial part of a growing relationship with Christ is serving in love.
1 John 3:18, says "...let us not love with words or tongue but with actions
and in truth." Putting our faith into action through acts of service demonstrates
Christ's love and helps us "grow up" in our faith.

The A/V Ministry serves the fellowship here at Calvary Chapel of St. Petersburg, by operating the system that projects worship lyrics, videos, announcements and paging numbers in the Main Auditorium. The A/V Ministry serves during all scheduled worship services and special meetings held in the Main Auditorium that require projection support. We do this using video equipment and computers that use special presentation software. Everything you see on the big screens in the Main Auditorium is provided by the A/V Ministry. Occasionally weddings, funerals, and other special events will require the A/V Ministry's support as well.
Technical Requirements
If you are comfortable working on a computer and have no problems operating standard home video equipment (DVD, camcorder, VHS deck) you probably have all the technical skills required for this ministry.
Additional Qualifications
This ministry does have some additional requirements for qualifying for service that may differ from other areas of service.
You must have attended Calvary Chapel for at least one year.
This is a highly visible position that is an extension of the worship and teaching ministries. You will be working with several pastors and worship leaders very closely. Because of the nature of this relationship, we are looking for volunteers that have been a part of our fellowship for at least a year and are known by the leadership.
You must already be "Plugged In".
The A/V Ministry requires only one volunteer to operate the system during any given service. This limits the amount of interaction and relationships that can be developed. For this reason, we are looking for volunteers that are already established in a home fellowship or other small group.
You Must have a servant's heart.
The volunteers will be interacting with pastors, sound technicians, Children's Ministry workers, ushers, guest speakers and many others. For this reason, we are looking for volunteers that have a servant's heart and have demonstrated that heart in other areas of Ministry here at Calvary Chapel.
If you are interested in serving in the A/V Ministry, please fill out a
Ministry Application, you can pick on up at the Ministry Info counter in the Main Lobby. Fill it out and return it to the Office Drop Box in the Main Lobby.

The avenue of sports provides a unique opportunity to integrate spiritual and physical disciplines in an environment fueled by passion and purpose. Through discipline, sacrifice, and commitment, Christ endured the cross bringing us to God. We aim to be a reflection of that character and purpose in the life we live. Sports are a tool to train in spiritual disciplines that we may know God better and live a consistent, intense faith-filled Christ following walk.
The outpouring of this investment impacts the community, adults and youth greatly using sports to bring the truth of the gospel. From local and international outreach, to fellowship and discipleship the Calvary Sports ministry desires to maximize sports and physical activity to accomplish these goals personally and in the lives of others to ultimately bring Glory to God.
Sports is an excellent environment for fellowship, bonding and spiritual growth. If you have a passion for a particular sports and you would like to lead a ministry focused on that sport, the Sports Ministry of Calvary Chapel would love to assist you. Please contact us with your vision for a Sports Ministry Small Group, include your contact information and we will set up an interview.

In the Fitness conditioning class, we don't separate the exercise of the spirit and of the body. Bodily exercise profits a little, but the exercise towards godliness is profitable for all things. Beginning with a devotion from the Word of God and then implementing the verses from the Bible in our minds and on our lips, every class becomes a sacrifice to the Lord, an opportunity to keep our minds on the Word. The workout is self-paced and provides the freedom for anyone, of any age or shape, to participate at their own level. Every month will start new with a simple progression.
