"Men's Life" is a Bible study that meets Tuesday mornings at 6:30 am at the church. It begins every Tuesday in a relaxed atmosphere with a continental breakfast and follows with a time of fellowship in the Word. It ends promptly at 7:30 am. David Laverell is the leader.

One of many Bible study opportunities available at Calvin Church, the Women's Bible Study program meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays from 1:00-3:00 during the months of September-December and March-May. Led by Rev. Scott Hoezee, the group studies various sections of Scripture. This year Rev. Hoezee is leading a study based on John Timmer's book "Four-Dimensional Jesus," which studies the unique way each of the four gospels provides a witness to Jesus and his work. Before the study time begins there is a half-hour of fellowship, coffee, and goodies. All ages are welcome!
