REFLECTING THE LOVE OF JESUS.
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:29-31
Calvary Missions seeks to love and honor God through the action of loving her neighbors. This may be in the form of relationship, partnership, or benevolence. Whether it is packing meals for local children or partnering with someone on the other side of the globe, Calvary seeks to live into the greatest commandment; love God, love people.

Kid's Hope
For over 25 years, Kids Hope USA has provided a proven, life-changing program through church-school partnerships that train and equip mentors to reach kids in public schools who are in-need of caring, reliable, one-on-one relationships. Mentors, standing alongside teachers and parents, ensure children that they are not alone. Through the power of relationship, children build resilience and a brighter future. Together, we can make a life-long difference. In every school, in every community. One young heart at a time! Commitment is one hour per week for students in kindergarten through 5th grade and 30 minutes per week for students in 6th-8th grade. We begin in October and finish the end of May. We work with students at Eagle Crest Academy in Holland.
