Our Commitment to Youth and Family

At Calvary, the youth are an integral part of our congregation and the future of our church. We offer many enriching programs from birth to age 18.

Protection of Minors Training

It is the policy of Calvary Lutheran Church to provide an environment that is free of child abuse, exploitation or neglect, and that safeguards the health and well-being of all its children. To facilitate this policy, Calvary has established an extensive program entitled Maltreatment of Minors Prevention Program.

The goals of this program are as follows:

1. To provide a safe environment for our children, volunteers and staff.
2. To interview and welcome all new and current volunteers at Calvary.
3. To provide training for all current and new volunteers and staff.

A comprehensive manual has been created that outlines the basic program tenets and procedures. Additionally, a 4-hour workshop has been organized to give further training on the topic. This informative program is taught by qualified professionals and offered annually.

To find out more about the program, please contact the Calvary office at 858-755-2855. A copy of the manual may also be obtained from the church office.

Middle School and High School Youth Group

Calvary Middle School & High School Youth Group is for you if
you are a youth, you want to spend fun and connected times with other youth, you like being around other Christians, and  you value the Christian perspective and what it adds to your growing up.

Both Youth Groups participate in activities outside the church either separately or sometimes together. Examples of outside activities include UCSD Day, indoor rock climbing, and Christmas caroling. Activities will include games and ice-breakers, team-building and interesting discussions. Examples of discussion topics include:

• Status and stereotypes: Becoming aware of how we treat others
• Obstacles to communication with God and with each other
• Called to share the good news
• God’s time vs. our time: Recognizing a larger timescale

Snacks are served, and you are welcome to bring your friends.

Director of Youth and Family

All Youth activities are planned and coordinated by either the Director of Youth and Family or one of our staff who’s  dedicated to youth activities.  We have a dedicated and hard-working group of volunteers led by our current chair of Youth & Family Ministries.

Come and be a part of one of these dynamic youth groups! For more information, call the church office at 858-755-2855 or email clcyouth@roadrunner.com.
