Sermon-Based Small Groups
Small Groups are groups of 8 - 16 adults that allow us time to fellowship, pray, and discuss the worship sermon message. We also have opportunities in our small groups to minister to one another to meet spiritual, physical, and emotional needs. In short, it is where we do life together.
They meet at various days throughout the week in member homes or at Calvary, depending on the group. The current listing by Day/Time/Location/Availability:

The book of James teaches the timeless truth that Christians must put their faith into action. Knowing God's Word is not enough. We must apply that knowledge to our everyday life, not only in thought but in deed. This twelve-week study written by Dr. David Jeremiah challenges us to WALK IT, DON'T JUST TALK IT. Join us as we dig into this rich and encouraging study.
Led by: Clayton Leblanc
Meeting upstairs in room 214
Duration: A number of weeks - begins July 15th
Materials Needed: The Discipline of Grace by Jerry Bridges; Bible
Intended audience: Men of all ages
We will undertake a deep study of God's Amazing Grace: We are saved by God's Amazing Grace. We are sanctified by God's Amazing Grace. It's ALL ABOUT GOD'S AMAZING GRACE. It's NOT about striving in our own strength. NOT about how many pushups we can do. NOT about how fast we can run the mile. NOT about how many letters we have after our name. NOT about the size of our bank account.
We'll read a portion of the materials each week and discuss it as a group on Sunday. Stop by for one Sunday to check us out - - - or commit to the whole study! We'd love to welcome you! The CBC Men's Sunday School Class is a great group. And tell a friend about us - - - or bring your Son! (If you let me know you'll be joining us, I'll do my best to have the required materials on hand for the July 12 launch!)
Led by: Dave Sanders
Meeting in room 212
Duration: 16 weeks - begins July 19th
Materials Needed: Bible
Intended audience: Everyone
1 Peter 3:15-16 tells us that we must always be prepared to defend our faith, yet do it with gentleness and respect. In a divided and hostile culture, we want to make sure that we conduct ourselves in a gentle, respectful, and Biblical manner, which in turn glorifies God, loves people, and helps to make disciples.
Following the video series Tactics by Greg Koukl, we'll study various conversation tactics, practice them, and learn to apply them in the real world when discussing our Christian convictions with others in order to be better ambassadors for Christ.
Led by: Mike Boots
Meeting in room 211
Duration: 23 weeks - begins March 8th
Materials Needed: Bible, Outlines and Study Material provided
Intended audience: Everyone
Exodus is an adventure story par excellence. It features a cruel villain (Pharaoh), an unlikely hero (Moses), overwhelming disasters (the plagues), a spectacular deliverance (crossing the Red Sea), a long journey (through the wilderness), a mountaintop experience (Moses received the Ten Commandments), and a grand finale (the presence of God coming down to the ark of the covenant, filling the tabernacle with glory). The story features unexpected setbacks and unpredictable delays, magic tricks (from Pharaoh's sorcerers) and miracles, and many close encounters with the living God. Join us for a verse-by-verse study of the Book of Exodus Part 1 (Chapters 1-18).
