2026–2027 Year Theme
Building a Strong Faith
“Rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith.”
Colossians 2:6-7
Our Vision & Mission
Vision: A student ministry rooted in gospel truth, where students are known, discipled, and launched into lifelong faith in Christ.
Mission: To intentionally know, disciple, and equip students through gospel-centered relationships, leadership development, and transformative teaching.
Known
Every student is greeted by name and followed up with after their first visit.
Discipled
Through Scripture, small groups, and honest mentorship, students grow a real, personal walk with Jesus.
Launched
Students are given real responsibility and pointed toward who they can serve and disciple next.
Weekly Gatherings
Two weekly rhythms for middle and high school students to worship, learn, and grow together.
Wednesday Nights
6th–12th Grade · Middle & High School
Wednesdays at 7:00 PM
- Meet together for Worship / Announcements
- Separate for verse-by-verse teaching and Small Groups
- Impact Nights & special events
Impact Nights are monthly opportunities for students to invite a friend — low-pressure, fun nights and a great introduction to youth.
Sunday Mornings
6th–12th Grade · Middle & High School
SUNDAYS at 9:00 & 11 AM
Middle School — Bible study / teaching, small groups, games & activities during the 9:00 & 11:00 AM services.
High School — Join main service to grow alongside the whole church family.
High School Deep Dives — offered throughout the year. Deeper topics and discipleship: book studies, apologetics, and topical studies.
Communion Sundays — On the first Sunday of each month, students join the main service with their families to celebrate communion together.
Serving Together: Community Outreach
One of the things we’re leaning into this year is getting out of the building. Faith isn’t just something students learn about — it’s something they live. Community outreach and service events give students a chance to put the gospel into action in a way that changes them.

Serving Together: Student Leadership
We believe students grow best when they are not just attending but contributing. These are great ways for students to help youth services run.
Worship Team
We need students to help lead worship — singing and playing instruments.
Sound & AV Team
Help with the sound board, lyric slides, lights, and more. We’ll train you!
Buddies / Welcome & Activity
Be a friendly face for new students — and help create and run fun games and activities.
The Year Ahead — Calendar
Dates can be subject to change.
How to Get Involved
We always need caring adults — as small group leaders, event volunteers, counselors, or simply a warm presence in our rec room. There’s a role for every level of commitment.
Trusted adults present in the rec room before and after services. No plan needed — show up, be warm and welcoming, and available when needed.
Chaperones, game leaders, setup, and food help. Needs are sent out per event with signup options.
Our primary discipleship role — show up each week, build relationships, facilitate small groups, and walk with students as they grow.
Help families check in each week. A great way to meet people and follow up with families who attend. (About 15 minutes before service.)
Perfect if you don’t want to lead a small group but want to love and connect with students — be present, introduce students, and be a helpful presence.
Have a passion or idea that could bless youth? Tell us. We can’t do it all — if the Lord has given you something, we want to hear it.
If you can’t help out in person, please pray for the students and leaders at Calvary Youth.
Becoming a weekly leader requires our onboarding process, a background check, and Ministry Safe training. Join the Volunteer Team to get connected for serving opportunities. Questions? Reach out to Pastor Niles.
Join the Church Center Group
A Church Center group for easy communication about upcoming events, announcements, and what’s happening in youth.
