Boys Will Be Boys and the Goal of the Calvinist Cadet Corps

This does not need to be a negative phrase. Today’s world seems to be leaving our boys behind. Opportunities are planned specifically for girls, and we run coed programs to treat all children the same. But boys are different. They have been uniquely created. We need to allow boys to be boys. We need to provide them with Christian male role models.

The best way to ensure boys know how to live a Christian life when they grow older is to show them when they are young. The goal of the Calvinist Cadet Corps is to provide Christian men with a structure, program, and materials that are uniquely designed to help boys grow spiritually in all areas of life—devotional, mental, physical, and social.

For over 65 years we have been helping churches organize a mid-week program for boys, both from within their congregation and from their community. We would love to partner with your church, assisting in the mentoring of boys, showing them what it means to live a Christlike life.
