But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 19:14

“Our children are the future of Lakeside.” That statement is repeated often. It is therefore vital that we lead our children in the paths of Christ. This means that church is to be a wonderful experience for them, that the Bible is made to come alive, and that living the Christian life is real to them. Our programs provide year-round ministry.

Sunday School

Sunday school is a vital part of the children's ministry here at Lakeside. Classes are graded by age and provide lessons and activities every child can participate in and enjoy.

Nursery, Children’s Church, and Super Church

We love our future generation at Lakeside! The nursery is available for children under two years of age for Sunday morning and evening as well as Wednesday services. Children’s Church is held for two through five year olds each Sunday, and Super Church for ages six through fifth grade.

Master Clubs

Every Wednesday night, boys and girls two years old through fifth grade are invited to participate in our children's discipleship program Master Clubs. Master Clubs is an exciting ministry that teaches children Biblical principles through Bible memorization and application projects. Kids have the opportunity to earn badges and awards throughout the year. Each spring, the Master Clubs ministry travels to participate in regionals where the boys and girls compete in both athletic and Bible competitions.

Day Camp

Junior camp is a wonderful opportunity to have a God-centered week of fun and fellowship for our children. Children enjoy many activities and games, as well as special times for Bible stories and messages from guest speakers.

Vacation Bible School

Lakeside has an annual Vacation Bible School each summer. Children have the opportunity to win prizes through scripture memory and game time.
