Family and Children's Ministries

Family Ministries

Calvary Nursery

Our Nursery team is made up of staff and volunteers who have completed background checks and are in compliance with our Safe Sanctuary Policy. Our Nursery support infants and toddlers development through play. 

Sunday School

Each Sunday, lessons center on the sermon series and scripture used in service. Students are encouraged to think deeply about the Bible lessons through discussion, activity and experiences. Community is created by enjoying time together with discussions guided by adults. 

Weekday Preschool

Our weekday preschool is a wonderful part of the Arlington community. You can learn more about the preschool via this page. The fun dance class that our preschool hosts was featured in a local news story. Click here to view the video.

Children’s Ministries

Calvary United Methodist Church welcomes all children and enjoys the laughter and joy they bring to our church family. We are here to help families share with their children with a strong sense of God’s love, and to develop a Christian faith that speaks to all aspects of their lives as they grow, as well as to create a Christian community of support and love.

Our children’s ministries are led by Beth Posey (familyministries@calmeth.org) who helps creates a creative, joyful, and safe environment for those from birth to 5th grade. Activities include meaningful Sunday morning programs, Summer Camps and special programs, including summer family mission opportunities and Vacation Bible School. Click here for VBS 2023!
