Are you new to the area? Maybe you're looking for a place to develop friendships or to get answers to spiritual questions. Or maybe you saw the building project
and are wondering who we are. Whatever you're looking for we're glad you found us. We believe Calvary can encourage you and every member of your family.
  • When you arrive on campus, let a parking attendant know you're new to Calvary and he'll direct you to parking near the main entrance.
  • Greeters in the lobby will answer your questions and provide you with details about Calvary's ministries and events. They can also direct you to important
    locations – the auditorium, classrooms, nurseries, and restrooms.
  • Nurseries and available for infants and toddlers. Sunday classes provide older children age-appropriate teaching and music. Classes, groups, and
    activities are available for every age and stage of life.
  • During each service, we welcome newcomers. But we will never put you on the spot, make you stand, or call you to the front. We will, however, invite you
    to meet our pastors and their wives in the lobby afterward.

Calvary Baptist Simpsonville

Simple Plan

God's plan for discipleship is simple: a disciple learns truth and then lives by faith (Matthew 28:19-20). Therefore, our children's ministry is designed so parents and teachers are able to follow a simple plan for teaching and discussing truth. Children's classes are given a purpose, plan, and targeted proficiency. Teachers work with these goals in mind.

SUNDAY SCHOOL

  • Purpose – to teach children the content of Scripture.
  • Plan – Children, 4 years through 6th grade, study Bible stories at the same time, chronologically, on a three-year rotation. 
Parents can follow what their children are learning online and in the weekly bulletin.
  • Proficiency – Children study key Bible stories, learn to navigate through their Bibles, and memorize books of the Bible.

CHILDREN'S CHURCH

  • Purpose – to teach children Christian character trait lessons and sing songs to God's glory.
  • Plan – Every month, children learn a different character trait through songs, devotions, and Bible lessons. 
Every two months, they minister to our church by singing during the Sunday evening service.
  • Proficiency – Children learn the monthly character trait and song.

TRUTH TRACKERS

  • Purpose – to purposefully teach children doctrine, systematically help them memorize Scripture, and strategically evangelize the community.
  • Plan – Children learn doctrine by memorizing verses, having a small-group time, playing games, and hearing a lesson.
  • Proficiency – Children learn six doctrines a year that can be reviewed at home. Each child is  led through the evangelistic  Forgiven tract.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

  • Purpose – to provide times for children to hear a clear Gospel message and invite their friends to hear with them.
  • Plan – Focused evangelistic events each year: Vacation Bible School in the summer, Truth Trackers Friend Nights in the spring and fall, and a wintertime Children's Revival.

PARENT PARTNERING

  • Purpose – to equip families to integrate spiritual skills into their family lives.
  • Plan – Seven Milestone Classes equip and teach parents who have children or teens entering new phases of life.
In addition, a baptism class for children and their parents meets every other month to teach the basics of baptism.
