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 all kids and youthto 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!
