Women want social outlets and support during all stages of life. Calvary Church offers places to befriend other Moms, and many Bible studies to help all women grow in faith. Whether you have a favorite Bible study writer or prefer video teaching, there are study options for you. (Of course you’re ultimately a fan of Jesus… those teachers are just his messengers.)
Women’s Bible Study

You can purchase a study guide from Amazon “Jonah: Navigating a Life Interrupted (Bible Study Book)” for $17.99. Study led by Beth Dutton and Marylee Abrams.

Mother’s of Preschoolers
Mother’s of Preschoolers (MOPS) is a national program for moms and their infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Moms visit and get helpful tips for navigating parenthood from a variety of guest speakers and gain essential skills for making the most of the preschool years. Currently on hiatus due to COVID-19 restrictions—in our MOPPETS program kids are cared for by attentive volunteers, and learn about God through a Bible-focused curriculum.
MOPS has completed registrations for the 2020-21 school year. If you would like to be added to the waitlist, please fill out the registration form. Feel free to contact us if you have questions, and thank you for your interest in MOPS at Calvary Church.

Moms Connect
Find your support for parenting beyond preschool. Moms Connect encourages women in parenting kids through school years and beyond. Mentor Moms are sprinkled throughout the discussion groups to help with perspective on parenting as they bring the wisdom that comes with experience. This group is open to women outside of Calvary Church as well!
The morning is usually structured with small group discussion time, and large group learning via video, panel discussion, or live teaching. Sometimes the morning focus is a community service project. The point is to connect with other mothers and grow in a community in a variety of ways. And of course, there will be food—because where there are women, there will be treats.
2020 Fall Approach
This fall, Moms Connect is moving online! We invite you to join us for an engaging large group gathering focused on a variety of topics with relevant parenting applications. The one-hour gathering will occur once a month on Wednesday evenings.
If you’d like to discuss the content with other moms, you can also participate in an online small group that will meet immediately following the large group portion. We’ll make every effort to form groups of women with established connections and relationships. Of course, new participants are always welcome!
This online format will never replace what happens at a “normal” Moms Connect meeting. However, it can certainly bridge the gap until it’s safe to meet in person again.
If you would like to join us, REGISTER NOW. You can also check out our Fall 2020 FAQs for more details.
