And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Ministry Focus
Kid's Praise! is Calvary’s children’s choir and is open to children in grades 1–5 who are enthusiastic about music, singing and worship! Kids learn to worship through song while discovering and developing creative ways to praise our Lord! We rehearse on Sunday evenings during the school year and help lead worship in Calvary services at various times throughout the year. In addition, we spend most of our second semester preparing a Spring Musical, which typically involves both song and drama, as well as other worship areas.
Elder Focus
Bob Drenth and his wife, Donna, have three adult children and eight grandchildren. Bob started attending Calvary Bible Church in 1967 and was saved in 1968 through our college ministry. He has served in choir, handbells, Prayer Corps, and as a Deacon, Treasurer, Greeter, Financial Secretary, and Elder.
