Wednesday nights at lakeside (3rd floor)
Youth group starts @ 6:00pm!
Every Wednesday night at 6:00 the youth students (grades 6-12) of Lakeside Christian Church meet on the 3rd floor for Lakeside Youth. When you come in, you’ll find some of us playing carpet ball, playing Smash Bros, working on homework, or trying to finish the community puzzle. We start our night with a game which can range from casual things like Pictionary or Jeopardy, all the way to running around the entire building looking for hidden treasure while being chased by a Grogg Monster. When the game is over, we have a time of worship and hear a lesson from God’s word together. Our Youth Director, Alex Mack enjoys bringing scripture to relevant topics the students are dealing with today, all while pushing them to think deeper about what it means to have a relationship with our almighty Creator. After the lesson, we split into small groups to unpack any questions or thoughts but more importantly, students get time to share with each other about how life has been going and the struggles they may share. Any leftover time is spent hanging out until 8pm when the leaders kick everyone out. Come check us out and if you have any questions, reach out to Alex.
OUR CORE VALUES:
Everyone is ACCEPTED
Everyone is EXPECTED
We believe that Grace and Growth are inseparably linked. Everyone is welcome just as they are but the Gospel is about growth and change. We will challenge the students to see areas of their life that could use some growth.
John 15:16 "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit-fruit that will last-and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you."
