Children’s Ministries
This has been another amazing
year in the Children’s Ministry! We
have witnessed God transforming
the lives of children as they
memorize Scripture, experience
Bible stories through drama, and
serve others in their community. We
rejoice with the angels in heaven
that 10 children expressed trust in
Christ for the very first time this
year!

Heidi Storms is our new Children’s
Nursery/Preschool Facilitator. She
is very excited to see how the Lord
will use her in this ministry. She and
Tim have been married for 7 years
and have 3 children: twin 3-year-old
boys, Liam and Trae; and a baby girl,
Emerson, who was born this past June. Heidi and Tim have
been attending Calvary for about 7 years and are involved in
various ministries in the church. Heidi’s passion for children
started at a young age, and she received a degree in Elementary
Education in college. After recently serving on staff in the
Worship department here at Calvary and volunteering as a small
group leader in the youth ministry, Heidi is excited to use her
knowledge and experience to oversee our infant nursery through
preschool.
