Audio Visual Team
The AV Team is integral to the experience of the body at Calvary. Whether our members are joining us in person or online, this team paves the way to a smooth experience. It’s more than just making sure the music sounds good, that the body can see the announcements, and streaming the service to people near and far– the skills of this team also shine a spotlight on the work of other teams in a unique way. While we may not always notice how much this team brings to the experience of every person attending, we certainly would notice their absence.
This team has three departments: the Slides Team, the Audio Team, and the Visual Team. Members of this team can choose one department or be trained across all three. No prior experience is needed.

Connections Team
The Connections Team make up the faces that people first see when visiting our church. The heart of this team is to help each person feel seen and welcome, connecting them to the resources necessary to make their visit a good experience. From the first hello, to checking in the children, to helping people sign up to participate in the ministries of Calvary, this team is really a reflection of the heartbeat of Calvary.
The Connections Team consists of two departments: the Greeting Team and the Connections Table Team. Members can choose one department or be cross-trained across both.

Decor Team
Decor Team sets the ambiance for our services, helps decorate for special events, and keeps the Calvary House festive. The heart of this team is to help people walk in and feel like they're home.

Kids' Ministry
Jesus loved the little children, and at Calvary, we do, too. It’s something that our whole hearts are in. We’ve striven to create a unified program that will take our littlest babies and pave the way for them to one day become active participants in the life and ministry at Calvary. We have custom-tailored a curriculum to meet the hearts of the kids at Calvary, using unified language throughout all age groups that can be carried into the home, and planted deeply within the hearts of our children to call upon now and later when life gets difficult. All of our children learn the same lesson at different levels, allowing parents to more easily discuss the lesson at home and find real-life applications. We are in the process of further developing our program to help parents better disciple their children. It’s a very exciting time to be part of Kids’ Ministry at Calvary!
This is an area of ministry that is fun and silly (and occasionally frustrating), but has lifetime significance for the children we serve.

Parking Team
The Parking Team is literally the first set of faces seen by those visiting our church. While this team's goal is to help our congregation navigate the parking lot with safety while carefully utilizing the space available to us, they do so with welcoming smiles and lots of patience. This team is great for introverts and those who are tough enough to weather the elements!

Refreshments Team
We are a congregation full of coffee & tea enthusiasts, and this team does an amazing job of providing for all our snack & beverage needs. More importantly, this team recognizes that when people spend time together, they learn to open up their lives to one another. Prayer for one another often starts with something as simple as enjoying a cup of coffee together.

Set-Up Team
For the better part of four decades, Calvary has been a mobile church. This comes with it's own challenges and unique needs. One of the biggest of those is a weekly set-up that is fairly labor-intensive. Our setup team does a great job of creating a welcoming meeting place each week. It’s not all work, though. This is a great ministry to get to know the people working alongside you.

Women’s Ministry
The women of Calvary love the opportunity to spend some time together. From special events, to Bilble Studies, to regular gatherings, this group finds many opportunities to build community and pour into one another's lives. The vision for the Women's ministry this year can be summed up by saying “Stronger Together”. The heart is to be a support for each other as we continue to grow in our knowledge of Christ and a support for other ministries within the body.

Worship Team
“With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God. I will give glory to your name forever…” -Psalm 86:12
At Calvary, we are passionate about worshiping God. We have a gifted worship team that leads us each week as we pour out our praise and prepare our hearts to hear from the Word. This team isn’t about flash or performance, but rather cultivating and expressing deep-hearted devotion for the Lord.

Youth Ministry
Our youth group is first & foremost a Bible study. We train our youth how to study the Word and apply it to their lives. We use an inductive method of study, taking the youth through a book of the Old and New Testaments each year. We took our first mission trip in Spring of 2025, with a goal of participating in a state-side and international mission trip each year. This school year we will be going to Costa Rica in January and Willow, Alaska in March.
It’s not all about learning and serving, though. We recognize that community is a pivotal part of living a Christian life. We work to build community among our youth by playing games, having parties, hosting small-group hangouts, and mid-week Bible Studies. We use table groups to promote discussion during study, and have the youth share testimonies and prayer requests. This group is open to all 6th-12th graders throughout the community, regardless of where (or if) their family worships on a weekly basis.
