Adult Ministries

Adult Bible Fellowships

ABFs are more than an adult Sunday school class. They are like mini-congregations within the congregation. In an ABF you study the Bible in a setting that encourages questions and interaction about the subject. You also experience group and relationship-building activities that range from fun social activities to group ministry projects to being there for each other in a time of crisis or need.

If you feel the need to get more connected here at Calvary or you wish to grow in your knowledge of God's Word, an ABF is the place for you.
