Stedman Reading Program with Calvary & New Hope Baptist In the fall of 2018, Calvary and New Hope Baptist Church began a partnership in reading with 3rd grade students at Stedman Elementary which continues today. Volunteers from the churches are paired with students and read with them for 45 minutes each week, building relationships with students and serving as positive mentors. In this process of engaging with the community together, Calvary and New Hope members have built relationships with each other as well. Sign up for Stedman occurs in the fall and closes after about a month of sign ups.
