Building Strong Foundations for Youth and Kids

At Lakeside, we believe that faith starts at home, and we’re here to support, equip, and walk alongside families every step of the way.

Family Ministries is all about building strong spiritual foundations for kids and youth, while empowering parents and caregivers to nurture faith in everyday life. Whether your child is just taking their first steps or navigating the teenage years, we want to create a community where they are known, loved, and encouraged to grow in their relationship with Jesus.

From engaging Sunday morning environments for little ones to midweek gatherings and events for teens, our goal is to help every child and student discover the hope, joy, and purpose found in following Jesus.

We know raising kids isn’t always easy, but you’re not alone. We’re here to cheer you on, pray with you, and offer tools that make a difference at home and at church. We invite you to explore all that Lakeside Kids and Lakeside Youth have to offer. Let’s grow in faith together!


What We're Talking About this Year in Family Ministries

Grades 1-5

Who is God? What does God do? How does God work in our lives? What does God want to say to us? Why does God care so much about us?

Our list of questions about God can go on and on!

The hope of this 52-week plan is that kids will get to both know about God and know God. This year we will present a cohesive Bible-based curriculum that takes the kids on a journey of faith and discovery.

God sent his son, Jesus, on a mission to share about his loving, grace-filled kingdom. Jesus spent time with his disciples before sending them out on this mission. And, today, as followers of Jesus and equipped with the Holy Spirit, we are sent on mission, too!

Preschoolers & JK/SK

From start to finish, this year will be filled with love: God’s love for me, you, us, and our love for God! Preschoolers will LOVE journeying through as they get to know God’s great love for them.

Serving Opportunities

Do you like welcoming families? Are you comfortable with online systems and computers?

You are committed to creating a first impression that is welcoming and friendly for kids and their families, especially first-time guests. By clicking a few buttons, you also help our new families navigate our secure check-in process. This position requires an arrival time of 9:15am on Sunday mornings but with the ability to be in the service after the coffee break.

Are you great at building relationships with kids? Enjoying teaching them about Jesus?

We are looking for great people who want to have fun while investing in the lives of kids from JK to Grade 5. As a Lesson Leader, you are in charge of the room. You lead the provided group lesson for the day, pray with the children, and assist with pick-up. In this position, Lesson Leaders volunteer either in a month on/month off capacity or bi-weekly.

Want to support the Kids program indirectly? Can you be available for 30 minutes after the service?

As part of the Lakeside Kids Tear-Down Crew, you’ll meet in the kids area following the service to help stack chairs, turn off TVs and computers, put away supplies, wipe down tables, and turn off the lights. Volunteers in this role commit to a minimum of once a month.

Are you great at building relationships with a few kids? Enjoy helping out but not leading a room?

In this role, you’ll greet kids as they arrive, assist and support the Lesson Leader, and help with clean-up. Volunteers in this position help out a minimum of once a month.

Do you have a heart for teens?

We believe that a key ingredient in a teen’s faith journey is having consistent adults in their life who lead them to Jesus. We are looking for people with leadership abilities and a heart for teens to help on Wednesday evenings throughout the school year.
