2012-2013 by the numbers
Our Men’s Ministry hosted a pig roast for our
Fall Kick Off Event. We enjoyed great food and heard
testimonies from men who attended each of our study
groups. This was done around a great campfire. Many
new men signed up for the fall study groups.
We have men who responded to two of our
breakfast speakers, from Guiding Light Mission and
Bethany Christian Services to come alongside some of
their struggling men and boys.
We are excited that Dr. Dennis Swanberg is going to
be our keynote speaker for our next Men’s Conference
in May. Watch for more details to come.
Approximately 75 guys
attended our Detroit Tiger
trip. We filled two coach
buses with dads, sons and
grandsons, who had a great
time watching the Tigers play
the Cardinals.
6 men’s Bible studies met at
various times throughout each
week.
150 men attended the Kickoff
Pig Roast last fall.
375 men attended our
bimonthly Saturday morning
breakfasts where they heard
great speakers and were
treated to amazing cooking
from Chefs Kevin and Neal.
We fielded 3 softball teams
this summer and hosted an
internal basketball league as
well.
Several hundred people of
all ages attended our annual
March Madness outreach
event, with everyone enjoying
food and basketball together.
We have a number of men’s Bible studies and
are looking to launch additional community groups
this coming year, as our men seek to build deep
relationships and experience authentic community.

2012-2013
by the numbers
Calvary Church serves over 1800 Senior Adults age 60 and over.
Nationwide, 10,000 adults per day are turning 62 as this “baby boomer
generation” enters the ranks of what was once considered retirement
age. This past year we began a time of transition as our former Senior’s
Pastor, Tom Couch, was called to be the lead pastor of another church
in our area.
We have rejoiced as God continued His work through many faithful
Calvary ministry volunteers. Calvary’s Senior Adult Ministry is changing
to meet the needs of this growing senior church population. As of
July 1, 2013, Pastor Bruce has added the responsibility of meeting the
pastoral needs of the Senior’s Ministry to his work in Missions and Mike
Looney has been added to the staff in a programing and organizational
position. Regina Scovill will continue as the Administrative Assistant.
Our Senior Ministry team of approximately 75 volunteers and staff
is dedicated to meeting the needs of today’s growing senior population,
equipping them to continue to grow, learn and especially to connect
with one another and with God.
