Philosophy of Calvary Baptist Church Tuscumbia’s Children‘s Ministry
Our children’s ministry mission is to partner with families in exemplifying a vibrant, Christ–
centered foundation for every child. We want to create an environment where children
experience God’s love, grow in their faith, and develop a heart for serving others. Focused on the
mission to Gather, Grow, and Go, we want to shepherd children into lifelong discipleship and
build their spiritual, emotional, and social development in a safe and welcoming community.
