CCA Fellowship!
Big Hearts and Little Hands
There are so many opportunities before us to minister to the body of Christ. The willingness to give a few hours of your time several times a year can mean so much to someone on the receiving end. What better way to train up our children than to teach them to focus on someone else in need. This is also an excellent avenue for friend-making for your teens, serving others together.
Galatians 5:13-14, 1 John 3:18
Our group will have different ministries offered throughout the school year...dinners for families in need, Samaritan's Purse box packing and teen service at the distribution center, Hillside Farm, three yearly visits to Sunrise Assisted Living Home, saving spare change in baby bottles and collecting donations for the SB Pro-life Pregnancy and Family Resource Center, and whatever else the Lord lays before us. These opportunities will be whole family in nature. Big Hearts and Little Hands is the heart focus of CCA.

Roots and Shoots Creation Study Club
Meet other CCA families for beautiful days set aside to enjoy God's creation. We will be gathering for casual, slow paced nature walks. Bring your cameras and join us as we share conversation and friendship while appreciating everything the Lord designed for us. We will begin each meeting with group prayer and a Scripture verse pertaining to God's creation. The children will collect these versus from each meeting.
This is a beautiful whole-family activity. Moms, dads, and kids of all ages bring your water, walking shoes, and sketch pad and pencils (optional, if you would like to sketch) and meet us for some creation study and time with friends. Spending time in God's creation is food for the soul and will leave lasting memories with your children and an appreciation for what the Lord made for each of us to enjoy.
Psalm 19:1, Romans 1:20
100 Mile Club participants may also use this event to earn a few walking miles!

Field Trips
The best way to learn and remember what is learned is through in person, hands on adventures. Join our families each month for a wide variety of field trips that are fun, educational, and memorable, with a special focus on history and science related trip experiences. Our trips are whole family friendly in nature.
Field trips are wonderful for all ages, toddlers through adults. Bring the whole family and share these experiences with other group families. Create some wonderful memories! When your children are grown they will most remember trips they took as a family.

Calvary Christian Academy was started in 2006 as a full service PSP and support group serving the homeschooling community. It is our heart's desire to provide an affordable group that meets the many varying needs of homeschooling families. Our own family has been homeschooling for 18 wonderful years.
We believe that the ministry of our group belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ and not to us.
"Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain." Psalm 127:1
Our goal is not to grow our group but to create a family for care and support.
Our group has no mandatory meeting requirements. All of our activities are optional.
The Lord has designed our group to have a whole-family focus offering ministry opportunities, learning experiences,
and social opportunities without grade level separations. The years we have to learn and experience together as a whole family unit pass so quickly.
Our main goal is to encourage and support HOME TEACHING and DISCIPLESHIP of our children. We schedule group events with this focus first in our minds.
We are also committed to providing opportunities for whole family ministry in several different areas. Now is the time to teach our children to focus on how we can serve others.
Calvary Christian Academy does not promote any particular curriculum or teaching method but does sometimes offer informational seminars to assist our families in the area of homeschool education.
We believe that the Lord fully equips those He calls to the ministry of homeschooling and seek to walk alongside homeschooling families on this journey.
Calvary Christian Academy is not affiliated with any particular church or denomination.
We have been incredibly blessed by the very individual talents, gifts, and strengths of so many of our member families that make our group so special. We would love to welcome you to our family!
Calvary Christian Academy is a proud member of Home School Legal Defense Association and an active HSLDA support
group, a member of CHEA of CA, and supporters of the San Bernardino Pregnancy and Family Resource Center.
