Have a conversation

If you haven't found a place to belong yet at Calvary, please email your contact info to tracy.buccieri@calvarywestlake.org. A Calvary staff member will contact you to listen to your story and help get started in finding your place at Calvary.

Pick a friend for the journey

Choose 1-3 people and invite them to process this teaching series together. Commit to talking 20-30 minutes each week in-person, online, or by phone to discuss each week's spiritual practice and share how you are applying them to your lives. You can ask a friend from your small group, serving team, Bible study class or support group. Or you can pick an acquaintance you'd like to get to know better from a Calvary event or ministry, such as a fellow parent you run into regularly while picking up your kids.

Recommended Book

Day 1: Pray That They Will Know Jesus

Scripture to Read

“Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” John 17:3

Things to Remember

  1. Your greatest hope for your child is not simply that they are successful, safe, happy, or well behaved. It is that they know Jesus.
  2. You can teach them about God, bring them to church, and model faith for them, but only God can transform their heart.


Prayers to Pray

  1. Jesus, help them know You. Open their eyes to see who You are and draw them into a genuine relationship with You.
  2. Jesus, help them love You. May their faith become more than knowledge, tradition, or something inherited from our family.
  3. Jesus, help them follow You. Give them a lifelong desire to trust You, obey You, and walk with You.
