Luke 2:52 states that "Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." The goal of the Calvinist Cadet Corps, based upon that verse, is to help boys grow spiritually in all areas of life (devotional, mental, physical, and social) by providing Christian men with a uniquely designed structure, program, and materials so that they can mentor boys effectively.

There are many boys in many neighborhoods who want to belong -- they want to feel apart of something -- they want to feel like they have accomplished something -- they want to feel like someone cares about them. The cadeting ministries have the ingredients to fill those needs.

Cadets offers a "club" atmosphere. Uniforms and routine help to instill a healthy pride in its members.

Cadets offers merit badges and certificates to honor achievement.

Cadets offers a safe haven where good behavior and productivity are expected.

Cadets offers a mentoring relationship with a Christian man who will take interest in each of the five or six boys in his cadre.

Cadeting provides many experiences and offers many opportunities that help fill the gaps in a boy's Christian upbringing. The adventure of outdoor activities, the hands-on projects, the mentoring role model of a Christian man, all serve to build strong members of the body of Christ.This is a goal of the cadeting ministry.

Our Cadet club meets each Tuesday beginning at 7 p.m. at the Hollandale Christian School
