The only weird thing was that they don't have enough garbage cans spread out through the beer tent. Like for a beer tent it was almost ridiculous. I could walk around for awhile without finding one. The staff is super cool and the police seem very tolerant of the drunks coming out of the place.

Great teaching, friendly congregation and good safe children's programming. I forgot how much I…read morelove this church. We were in Chicagoland and had the joy of visiting Calvary church. We were longtime members until we moved away. Pastor preaches a good message from the Bible, relevant and informative. The music style is a nice blend of traditional hymns and more contemporary songs. Seating is all on one level but the stage platform is elevated enough that even I can see. Building itself is relatively new, ample restrooms and seating. The kids area is bright and well organized. The lobby has a small coffee bar and there is comfortable seating in the lobby too. In addition to weekend worship they also offer many weekday Bible study for men and women, a food pantry open to the public on Thursdays. They also offer a service in Arabic on Sunday afternoons.

Think twice before dropping your children off at their VBS (Vacation Bible School). For 1 week kids…read moretravel to different stations during a 3 hour period. The stations were not kid-friendly nor interactive. Kids tried to entertain themselves or each other as they were often bored. The VBS focused on quantity of children over quality of their VBS program. Daily, Calvary Church asked kids to bring more friends to VBS as they wanted to reach a target of 350 children. Again, quantity over quality. What happens behind closed doors? You will often find group "crew" leaders pulling kids aside to yell at them. Kids were often yelled at by station leaders if they picked up a crayon too soon or if they were clapping their hands, they were yelled at to stop. Traveling to different stations was chaotic and kids could easily get mixed into another "crew" group. Kids were told to line up against a glass balcony on the 2nd floor while waiting for another station and some kids were jumping on the balcony railing which is life threatening. Calvary constantly pushed their religious message (drink the poison, repent your sins, death, pray before calling police to help...etc.) throughout each station and was not age appropriate. They say that they want kids to have fun however their VBS program was not structured that way nor was the staff friendly or engaging for kids to have fun. They do not have Christian like behavior nor do they care about safety and quality of their VBS program for children. Do not be surprised, after seeing this review, that they make their parishioners write good reviews to negate this one. Don't be fooled.
