Lakeside Youth

Helping students discover and fully follow Jesus

Your week just got a little better.

Lakeside Youth is a fun place for students in Grades 6-12 to experience and build a personal relationship with Jesus. We meet most Wednesday evenings throughout the school year. Scroll down for information about upcoming youth nights, events, and ways to stay in touch.

What we're talking about in April

Whether it’s your favourite movie, book, or reality show, you know there's nothing like a good plot twist! Those storytelling surprises can keep us entertained, but they can do a lot more than that too. A good plot twist can make us rethink everything we thought we knew, see things in a brand new light, and get excited about what might happen next.

That’s never more true than in the most surprising and significant plot twist in history — Jesus’ death and resurrection.

In this series, we’ll look at surprising stories from Jesus’ death, resurrection, and last days on earth. These stories will show us that, when life takes unexpected turns, God gives us help. And even when we’ve messed up or are ready to give up, Jesus never turns away from us, but gives us life, gives us hope, is with us, and gives us another chance.

Ready for more?

Plain and simple, we want our young people to:

  • discover more about Jesus
  • have fun
  • make friends
  • find acceptance
  • feel like they belong
  • ask questions
  • grow

We want God to be an important part of their lives as they navigate the years ahead. We want them to develop a strong foundation. We want to be the place where they feel loved and accepted and free to ask questions. We want them to experience the love of Jesus and have that love shape the way they live their lives.

We do that through music, games, and small group time. We offer students opportunities to develop their gifts and abilities by serving others whether through music, leadership or organizing special games. And over the course of the year, they get to participate in weekend retreats, large group events, life-altering conferences, and numerous service projects.

We think being part of a regular youth group helps students build their faith, confidence, and connection to others.

WE’RE WAITING FOR YOU!
