Children's classes are available in each of our services from nursery to 5th grade. Classes are specifically designed for each age group. Our goal is to communicate God's love to the children at their level of understanding. In grades 1-5 we use the Calvary Chapel curriculum.

Elementary age go into the S. Summit for their own time of worship with a live band and the younger children have traveling worship leaders that stop by their classes for worship.

Children who attend classes including 1st through 5th grade will get a complete overview of the Old and New Testament. We teach the children to ask three questions:

1. What does the Bible say?
2. What does the Bible mean?
3. What does God want me to do?

Wednesday night classes start at 7 p.m. Childcare is offered for infants through 2 years old. Classes are available for 3's, 4's, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten through grade 3. The boys and girls meet separately in grades 4 and 5.



Who Teaches Our Classes?
At Calvary Chapel our teachers commit themselves to serve in our classrooms in six-month increments. This provides our children with stability and consistency in their classes as relationships are built and cultivated.

Training
It is our goal to equip our teachers, helpers and volunteers to serve. Towards that end, we offer the following avenues for training:

1. We host a Children's Ministry Conference each spring with a variety of workshops to choose from.
2. Online training sessions, seminars, newsletters and curriculum from Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa.
3. Link to Children's Ministry Basics, our policies and procedures manual for teachers, helpers and other Children's Ministry volunteers.
4. Teachers Orientation meetings are held two months prior to each new six month session. Check our children's calendar for specific topics and other details.

CHoSEN (Calvary HOmeSchool Educational Network) is a network composed of Moms and Educators who have a desire to reach out to the homeschooling community using their gifts and talents to help educate and encourage their students to be "Lifetime" learners.

CHoSEN Co-op understands that homeschooling is just one option for educating your children, as well as public schooling and private schooling. There is no ONE way. Although we are a homeschool group and we support and promote homeschooling, we do not feel that it is the only or best way for everyone. Each family is unique, each child is special and each time is for the moment. If homeschooling is an appropriate alternative for you, then we are here to help you on your journey.

We are a Christian program that desires to show the love of Christ to every person who walks through our doors. We have HIGH standards and guidelines for all participating in CHoSEN, which ensures your child the ability to learn in a safe and Christ-like manner.
