CALVARY KIDS

Where the Adventure Begins

Every great adventure begins with a first step.

At Calvary Kids, we believe the greatest adventure of all is discovering who Jesus is and learning to follow Him. 

Every Sunday, we create a safe, welcoming, and exciting environment where children can explore God's Word, build lasting friendships, and discover the incredible story of God's love. 

Come discover the adventure with us!

ROOTED IN TRUTH. GROWING IN FAITH

Helping the Next Generation Know Jesus and Love His Word.

At Calvary Kids, we believe that children aren't just the future of the church. They are an important part of the church today.

Our heart is to partner with families in raising a generation of children who know God's Word, understand His love, and develop a faith that will guide them throughout their lives.

We believe the Bible is God's perfect Word, and every story, every lesson, and every activity is an opportunity to point children to Jesus.

That's why we are committed to creating an environment where children are:

  • Rooted in Scripture - Learning the truth of God's Word and discovering how the entire Bible points to Jesus.

  • Growing in Faith - Building a personal understanding of who God is and what it means to follow Him.

  • Connected in Community - Developing meaningful friendships with other children and caring leaders.

  • Equipped for Life - Learning to apply biblical truth in everyday situations, both at church and at home.

Our prayer is that the seeds of faith planted today will grow into a lifetime of following Jesus.

A PLACE FOR EVERY AGE

GROWING IN GOD'S WORD, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

At Calvary Kids, we believe that children are never too young to begin discovering the incredible truths of God's Word.

From our littlest ones in the nursery to our middle school students, every classroom is intentionally designed to help kids know Jesus, understand the Bible, and grow in their faith.

Each Sunday, children experience age-appropriate Bible teaching, meaningful activities, and caring relationships with leaders who are passionate about pointing the next generation to Christ.

Nursery | Birth–4 Years

Little Ones, Big Love

Our nursery provides a safe, nurturing, and loving environment where our youngest children can begin experiencing the love of Jesus.

Through simple Bible stories, songs, play, and interaction with caring volunteers, we introduce little hearts to the wonderful truth that God made them, loves them, and has a plan for their lives.

Lower Elementary | K–2nd Grade

Discovering God's Amazing Story

Children are naturally curious, and we love helping them discover the incredible story God is telling through His Word!

Through engaging Bible lessons, hands-on activities, crafts, and games, children begin building a foundation of biblical truth.

Each week, we help them understand not only what the Bible says, but what it teaches us about God and His love for us.

Upper Elementary | 3rd–5th Grade

Building a Faith That Lasts

As children grow, so do their questions and their ability to understand deeper truths about God.

Our upper elementary classroom encourages kids to explore Scripture, ask meaningful questions, and discover how God's Word connects to their everyday lives.

Through Bible-centered teaching, discussion, and interactive activities, we help children develop a faith that is becoming their own and a growing desire to follow Jesus.

Middle School | 6th–8th Grade

Taking the Next Step

Middle school is an important season of growth, discovery, and learning to make faith personal.

We create an environment where students can ask honest questions, build meaningful friendships, and dig deeper into Scripture.

Our goal is to help students move beyond simply knowing Bible stories to understanding biblical truth, developing a personal relationship with Jesus, and learning what it means to follow Him in everyday life.

One Mission. Every Age.

No matter their age, our heart is the same: to help every child know Jesus, love His Word, and grow into a lifelong follower of Christ.

YOUR FIRST ADVENTURE STARTS HERE!

New to Calvary Kids? We've got you covered!

We know visiting a new church can feel like an adventure of its own, especially when you're bringing children along!

Whether it's your family's first time at church or you're simply new to Calvary Chapel Eastside, we want you and your children to feel welcomed, comfortable, and right at home.

Here's what to expect on Sunday morning!

First Thing ... Check In @ KidCheck Desk

You will be greeted by our Calvary Kids volunteers. They will help you get checked in and headed in the right direction.

Nursery | Birth–4 Years

A Loving Place for Our Littlest Adventurers

Our youngest children can head directly to the nursery, where our caring volunteers will be ready to welcome them.

The nursery provides a safe, nurturing environment filled with play, Bible stories, and lots of love.

Starting the Morning Together in Worship

Our K through 5th-grade children begin their Sunday morning upstairs in the Chapel for a special time of worship together!

After worship, children transition with their leaders to our newly renovated Calvary Kids wing downstairs, where they'll explore God's Word through age-appropriate Bible lessons, engaging activities, and meaningful conversations.

When the service is over, parents can pick up their children directly from their classrooms in the Calvary Kids wing.

Growing Deeper in Faith

Our middle school students have their own space to connect, grow, and explore God's Word together.

Students can head directly to Room 203 upstairs, where they'll join their leaders and fellow students for Bible teaching, discussion, and opportunities to build meaningful friendships.

It's a place where students can ask questions, strengthen their faith, and discover what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life.

Your Child's Safety Matters

We know that entrusting your children to someone else's care is a big decision.

Our goal is to provide a welcoming, secure environment where children are loved, cared for, and encouraged to grow in their faith.

If you're visiting for the first time, our friendly Calvary Kids team will be happy to help you find the right location and answer any questions along the way.

We can't wait to welcome your family to Calvary Kids!

THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES AT HOME

Faith Isn't Just for Sundays.

At Calvary Kids, we believe that some of the most important moments of discipleship happen outside the church walls—around the dinner table, during the drive to school, and in the everyday conversations between parents and their children.

That's why our partnership with parents doesn't end when Sunday morning is over.

Bringing Sunday's Lesson Home

Every week, your child will receive a take-home sheet designed to help you continue the conversation about what they learned at Calvary Kids.

These take-home sheets provide a simple way for families to revisit the week's Bible lesson, explore God's Word together, and encourage meaningful conversations about faith throughout the week.

You don't need to be a Bible expert or have all the answers. Just a few intentional moments together can make a lasting difference.

Growing Together in God's Word

Deuteronomy 6:6–7 reminds us that teaching our children about God isn't limited to a particular place or time. It's something that happens throughout everyday life.

Our desire is to come alongside you, providing tools and encouragement as you help your children build a foundation of faith that lasts a lifetime.

Because the greatest adventure of following Jesus isn't just a Sunday experience—it's a lifelong journey we take together.

Our Classrooms

Love of Christ is central to how we care for our children. In our Nursery, we provide age appropriate lessons and apply the highest standards for a safe, healthy, and hygienic learning environment.

Enjoy peace of mind knowing the bassinet mattress has a fresh, clean cover; all tables have been wiped down with disinfectant; and plastic toys have been sterilized using the in-room dishwasher.

Healthy nurturing is our highest priority, and we are serious about our role as caretaker of your children. Thank you for entrusting us with their charge during worship service.*

*Nursing mothers are encouraged to rock babies in the Nursery while watching our worship service on a closed circuit monitor or hold children in our soundproof Calming Room at the back of the sanctuary. The Calming Room is for families who need a quiet, more private environment. It includes a screened area for nursing mothers, a dedicated HVAC system, private restroom, and separate volume controls.

Calvary Kids Need You!

Volunteer

“My biggest hesitation in committing to teaching Sunday School was if the preparation would be burdensome; but it has been just the opposite. I always look forward to going through the material, and it’s half my week's quiet time.”

~ Brian Parks, Middle School Sunday Teacher
