Cadets
The Calvinist Cadet Corps was founded in 1952 by Christian men who saw the need to mentor, by word and example, the young men and boys in their community. It has become a world-wide ministry that incorporates weekly meetings and outdoor adventure.
The basis of the Calvinist Cadet Corps is the Word of God (the Bible) according to the concept of the same as expressed in the Heidelberg Catechism, the Canons of Dort, and the Belgic Confession. Practical Application of these Beliefs God is revealed in His Word – The cadeting ministry encourages studying the Bible as the guide to life. God is revealed in nature – The cadeting ministry encourages experiencing the presence of the Lord in His glorious creation. Learning the skills of an outdoorsman builds a boy's character, and developing a boy's understanding of his place in God's world helps him to be a faithful steward. Men as God's servants – The Calvinist Cadet Corps is the ministry of men of God who are dedicated to bring boys into a living relationship with their Lord and Savior. These men, understanding their imperfection, hold on to the promise that the Lord will bless their prayers, their example, and their instruction if they rely on God's strength
Boys from 4th - 8th grades meet with the Rock Valley Cadets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday at 7:20 p.m. Head counselor is Travis Blankespoor. Counselors from our church are Jeremy Van Beek, Jared Blankespoor, Kory Vander Zeil, and Josh DeJager
