What Should I Expect?
What Should I Expect?


If you want to know WHERE we’re located … WHEN we meet on Sunday morning … WHAT is available for your children... and WHAT to wear, you’ve come to the right place.  We understand that your first time at a church can bring up some questions, and we want to help you feel more comfortable by letting you know what to expect. 

No matter what your age is, no matter where you come from, no matter who you are, there is a place for you at Calvary.  You'll meet a great mix of friendly people, hear relevant messages, and much more.  We want to help you connect with the personal hope and practical help that God can give us. 

If these topics don't answer your questions, please feel free to contact us for "no-pressure" answers.

Where is Calvary Located?
Calvary meets at 7500 Oak Street in Kansas City, MO, which is located at the southwest corner of 75th and Oak Streets.  For detailed driving directions click here.

When are the Worship Services?
You can choose from two Sunday morning or one afternoon services -  8:00 a.m., 10:45 a.m. or 4:30 p.m. Childcare is available at all three Sunday worship services for children newborn to 3 years of age.

What Should I Wear?
We do not have a dress code at Calvary - some people wear suits and dresses, others "business casual", and others jeans.  We want you to feel comfortable when visiting, so come as you are, you'll fit right in. "Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7

Where do I Park?
Calvary's parking lot is located on the west side of the church building.  If this lot is full, then feel free to park on the adjoining east, north, and west streets.

Where Do I Enter the Building?
You can enter through the main doors of the church off the 75th Street entrance, or at the west side of the building from the parking lot.  The later choice has an easily accessible handicap ramp.

What Should I Expect in Church?
Our services are a contemporary expression of Christianity’s ancient traditions. The focus is on the Lord and His grace.  Much of the service is simply the singing and speaking of Scripture – God’s Holy Word.  Calvary is dedicated to preaching and teaching biblical truth and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Through the sermon and songs, the powerful Truth of God’s never-failing love for even the unworthy is applied to our life and we, the forgiven, are empowered for praise-filled living.

 

Connecting with our Family
At 9:00 a.m., we warmly welcome you to join us for coffee, juice, and donuts in the fellowship hall, which is located just outside the sanctuary.  This is a great time to meet new people just like you!

What’s Available for my Kids? 
There are many times that the Pastor will talk to the children in the "children's sermon" during the service.  After church, we invite your children to participate in our growing Sunday School programs and thriving junior and senior youth groups. 

Within the Calvary Kids ministry, every child receives special, age-appropriate attention by adults dedicated to caring and sharing the good news of God’s love.  Creativity abounds in the theme-inspired classrooms with their interactive curriculum.
