Worship Services

Join us to connect with other students, play games, and worship God together through music and biblical teaching.  
 
Our 9am and 11am Sunday services are in the MSM room! For those not yet comfortable meeting in-person, we will live-stream our 11am worship service on our Calvary MSM YouTube channel.  
 
Each service we have new students joining us for the first time, so you aren’t alone if you haven’t been to MSM before!  Find any of our leaders wearing an MSM T-shirt or badge to get connected. 

Christmas in MSM

Christmas Movie Night is December 13th from 6-8pm! This is another opportunity for students to spend time with each other here at church.  We typically do not do anything this close to Christmas, but we thought we would put together a simple and casual event for those who would like to spend one more day together with their MSM community.  There will not be dinner on this night, but we will have candy and hot cocoa.

Winter Camp

Every winter we have the opportunity to take students up to Hume Lake for winter camp, where we partake in a weekend of worship, recreation, and Biblical teaching. Winter camp is a perfect place to get away from normal life for a weekend, enjoy the beautiful campus of Hume lake, and even see snow if you’re lucky!

Small Groups

“Tribes” Calvary’s middle school small groups are Wednesday’s from 5:30-7:15pmEach week, students hang with friends as they open their Bibles together, exploring how God’s Word changes the way they live! All groups are lead by MSM staff and vetted (background checked & fingerprinted) volunteers.

Tribes are on break until January 10th.

Foundation Journal

The Firm Foundation Journal is a tool for students to obey the words of Jesus in Luke 6:46-49.  Jesus tells us that those who go to him, listen to his words, and do what he says will be like a house built on a firm foundation that can weather any storm!  We know that for many students, they either do not know what to read, and if they do read they might become confused.  This journal should help solve both those issues as they are guided through the word of God each day with space to reflect on what they read.  If they get confused, they can talk with our leadership or other students, because we are all working through this together.

Baptisms

MSM Ministry hosts a baptism class the Monday before the next baptism service on Zoom. There will be a short video to watch with your child before the Zoom Class that teaches the fundamentals of the Christian faith and baptism as practiced here at Calvary Westlake. Then children in MSM, along with their parents, will be invited to our Zoom meeting where will discuss questions you might have about baptism!  Once the child, parents, and leaders agree the child has a clear understanding of its meaning and is ready, they are invited to be baptized at the next baptism service. 

Upcoming Baptism Dates

Sun., Nov. 12 – 9am & 11am

For more information on baptism for MSM, contact Connor Johnson at connor.johnson@calvarywestlake.org.

Summer Camp

Calvary MSM Summer Camp is the best week of the year for any incoming 6th, 7th and 8th grade students.  This year we are heading to Hume SoCal for an adventure of seeking Jesus together.  Filled with outdoor summer activities, incredible worship, and rooted in biblical teaching, we strive for our students to not only grow in their relationship with God, but also in their friendship with one another.  We always say, if you only join Calvary MSM for one event, make sure it is summer camp!  Come along with us for an experience you’ll never forget!

 

Volunteer in MSM

Come serve with us! There are opportunities to serve on Sunday service at 11am, MSM events, and as a small group leader. Fill out the form and we will be in contact with you on how to best use your gifts to serve our middle schoolers.
