Child Safety Logo
We value child safety at JAARS, and so anyone that works with kids or teens has to pass a criminal background check, as well as sign a code of conduct. Those that do get this logo on their ID badge.
Marriage Conference
The "Love & Respect" conference is coming to Charlotte, and it will be here on Valentines day! Please make plans to attend this conference that will transform your marriage. It will be held at Calvary Church on February 13 & 14.
Bible Reading Plans
We have three Bible reading plans available for downloading on the Forms and Fliers page.
These three plans are great tools to get into God's word this year. You can choose to read through the entire Bible in a year, or just the New Testament. Talk with your friends and pick one that you can read through together!
