History and Organization

The Calvinist Cadet Corps is a non-denominational youth ministry organization that provides churches with ministry programs that will enable them to effectively share Christ’s love with boys in their church and community.  The Calvinist Cadet Corps has been around since 1952.  The national Calvinist Cadet Corps organization website provides a history of the Cadet ministry; the link is here – About Cadets
