Sports Ministry
Our church sports ministry here at Calvary seeks to create a place where boys and girls can worship their Father and Creator through soccer and basketball, regardless of their skill level or experience. Each league is designed to teach our children the wonderful truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ all while promoting an atmosphere of fun and encouraging competition. Both soccer and basketball have age-specific leagues from 4 years old through high school with coaches who are eager to give players both skills to play the game and a love of God.
If you are interested in serving, we have volunteers help with coaching, reffing, the concession stand, and more!
This Week’s Memory Verse and Team Devotion
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
Matthew 6:24 (NIV)

Soccer Camp at Home
While unfortunately we were unable to have our regularly-scheduled soccer camp this year, this summer we are offering Soccer Camp at Home. This will be a one-week event with videos of soccer drills you can do with your child at home, as well as devotion videos to watch together. The camp will be June 29th-July 3rd, but the videos will be up all summer for you to view any time. For anyone who does not have a soccer ball, we will be doing a ball giveaway June 29th from 10am-noon at Calvary for anyone who registers. To register to receive these videos and to let us know if you need a soccer ball, go to kids.ccphilly.org/registration and sign up for Soccer Camp at Home.
