guarding hearts by guarding eyes

As Apostolics in the 21st Century, we recognize the sobering reality that the rate of technological change has often outpaced the church’s ability to respond. And with the complexity of the internet today, even the most diligent parents and individuals struggle to keep up. At Calvary, we want to do everything we can to overcome this challenge and empower individuals and families to guard their hearts and eyes.

As a key step toward this goal, the Family Ministries team has provided two incredible opportunities for Calvary members to take advantage of:

1
Protect App premium free subscription

2
Protect young eyes family month event
