Baby Step Nurseries are on the main floor at the back of the lobby / narthex. Our volunteers are trained and ready to play with your children! A background check is performed on each volunteer.

Our Preschool ministry is more structured than nursery, offering a large group Bible story and singing along with a small group time for application activities. The goal of this ministry is to teach that “God Made Me.” “God Loves Me,” and “Jesus Wants Me To Be His Forever Friend.”

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12
Growth Groups
Our youth ministry at Caledonia is divided into smaller Growth Groups. These groups are intended to foster an intentional community where each student belongs and is personally known and loved. Each Growth Group consists of five to eight students and is led by one or two adult leaders from the congregation. These leaders connect with their groups on a regular basis and maintain personal relationships with each student. Our focus as a youth ministry is to create Christian community that allows students to form their faith and lives after Jesus.
Gatherings – See the calendar below for specific meeting dates and other cool opportunities to get connected.
