Welcome to Children's Ministries!
|
It is our desire
that children know and worship the Lord God as the Creator and Sustainer of all life, stand firmly on the Truth of scripture, and treasure God’s Word in their hearts and minds. |
It is our calling
to bring children to the place where they can meet Jesus, know Him as their personal Savior, and learn what it means to follow Him. |
It is our commitment
to provide times for children to learn and experience God’s love and grace as well as provide opportunities for families to gather together for encouragement and fellowship. |

Lake Beauty Ministries Presents…God’s Great Heroes Day Camp!
You might have heard of Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, and Batman, but have you heard of the Great Heroes in the Bible? God has used people in many different ways to advance his kingdom. This summer at Day Camp we will be exploring 4 of these great heroes that God used in small but mighty ways.
Day Camp is designed for kids completed Kindergarten-6th grade. Come for 4 days of camp fun at church. Day Camp goes from 8:45am to 3:00pm. Days will include interactive Bible teaching, small group time, games, crafts, and lunch. We will be exploring a new hero every day and unpacking their impact on the Kingdom of God and what we can learn from them.
VBS 2017 “Operation Arctic” Report
Almost 130 kids attended this year’s VBS, and learned songs, memorized scripture, made crafts, ate snacks, and played games all in the context of “Operation Arctic”, where they learned about the Bible – the “Book of Books”, the incredible impact it has in our lives, how it is our love letter from God and how exciting it is to explore what is written in it for us!
$875 was raised to support our own Ecuador missions trip team as they bring VBS to the children of the Ecuador. It is our way of sharing a VBS experience with children around the world. At least 20 children made 1st time commitments to Christ, indicating that they prayed and gave their hearts to the Lord and over 40 kids recommitted themselves to a relationship with Him!

“Feast and Family” every 2nd Sunday of the month from Sept - May at 11:40am.
Feast and Family is for families with kids at home (ages 0-high school) to come join us for lunch! We’ll plan the meal, prepare and serve the food and do the dishes. You just need to bring your family and enjoy the food and fellowship around the table, following the 2nd service on the second Sunday September through May. There is a small cost of $1 per child and $2 for adults.
School Year Programs September thru May
Awana!
Awana! Wednesday Nights!
Our Wednesday night Awana meeting is a time filled with energy, fellowship and spiritual growth. Each of our children’s clubs has its own unique meeting format, but in general Awana meetings are 1 ½ hrs and feature three main segments: Game Time, Handbook Time and Council Time. Game Time is comprised of exciting circle games exclusive to Awana played in the gym. Council Time is a large-group setting primarily dedicated to Bible teaching and presentation of the gospel. Handbook Time provides small-group interaction, recitation of Scripture that kids learned during the week, friendship building and opportunities for leaders to mentor children and help them understand the Bible verses they memorize. Here's what we do in Awana...we'd love to have you come along! |
Afterschool Celebrations
Filled with snacks, games, crafts, supper, movies and friends…who could ask for anything more? Be sure to ride bus 8 to the church after school and have your parent pick you up at 6:00pm. *Starts again in the fall! Sunday School!
We will gather on Sunday mornings (at 9:15) just after the Sunday morning worship service starts. Our time together will include a lesson time, activities, and small group time. You will be in a group together with kids your age and will have a teacher guiding and leading your small group time!
