SR High

Wednesday Current

Calvary's 10-12th grade ministry invites students to grow in their faith in Christ by learning about the Bible, developing a lifestyle of worship, and discussing their emerging faith in small groups. Wednesday Current meets in the balcony of the Sanctuary and, after singing a few songs, moves down to the Student Underground. Wednesday Current is a great place to check out if you are new to Calvary or simply looking to get more involved! Wednesday Current meets in the Sanctuary Balcony and runs from 6:30pm-8:00pm.

Check out the Calvary 101 for an up-to-date schedule on our topics.

Current is talking about how Christianity compares to other world religions like Buddhism, Islam, and Mormonism.
