Care

nurturing...growing...caring...loving
Nurturing one another by loving as Christ loves.
The Lord has given us the privilege of caring for each other in times of need. Nurturing one another by loving as Christ loves gives both the caregiver and care receiver the opportunity to experience Christ's love. Various forms of assistance are helpful at different stages of life. As needs arise in your life, Calvary desires to offer appropriate care. We trust you will find the tangible love of Christ through His Church.

FAMILY LIFE

Marriage Prep
We believe it is necessary to know as much about each other going into marriage as possible. It is important to know each other's strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, as well as faith and fears, in order to build your relationship into all that God intended it to be. If you plan to be married at Calvary Church or have a Calvary pastor perform the ceremony, this class is required.

Remarriage Workshop
Why a Remarriage Workshop? 60% of all second marriages end in divorce and 85% of all third marriages end in divorce. Current statistics have proven that when both parties are open to personal and spiritual growth, attending remarriage workshops and Christian counseling, these statistics decrease dramatically to as low as 15-20%. This remarriage workshop is designed to give couples a realistic look at issues of remarriage and blending a family.

For more information on when these workshops are being offered, please contact Jan Dykstra at 956-9377.
