Lakeside Kids
Welcome To Lakeside Kids
We’re all about building up young hearts and minds while sharing the incredible love of Jesus in fun, creative, and meaningful ways.
Each Sunday morning, kids from infants to Grade 5 gather in a safe, welcoming environment designed just for them. Our amazing team of staff and volunteers is passionate about making every child feel seen, known, and valued. Whether it’s through music, crafts, videos, storytelling, or hands-on activities, we create experiences that are full of joy and tailored to each child’s unique needs.
We believe that faith should be exciting, engaging, and something kids can carry into every part of their lives. That’s why we focus on helping them understand who God is, how much He loves them, and what it means to follow Jesus every day.
We also love partnering with families, because we know that when church and home work together, incredible things happen!
Our hope is that every child who comes through our doors will grow up to love God and love others.
Come join the fun - we can’t wait to meet you!

What to Expect
It starts at check-in. From the moment you arrive, we aim to make church a positive and fun experience for your kids (from birth to Grade 5). Our team will help you check-in using our secure computer system and then you can share in musical worship together in the auditorium.
At the coffee break, children will head to Lakeside Kids.
If you’d like to stay with your child, we also offer a family-friendly space for parents/caregivers to watch the service and tend to childcare needs.
Please arrive a few minutes early to check in (especially if this is your first time).
What We're Talking About This Month
Preschool
This month, our youngest learners will explore faith through the Cheeky Pandas — playful, story-based lessons designed especially for little hearts and growing imaginations. Through short videos, songs, hands-on activities, and simple conversations, children will begin discovering how God helps us show love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in everyday life. Each week, the Panda stories help kids learn what it looks like to be a good friend, make kind choices, and trust that Jesus is always with them. Our hope is that children feel safe, known, and excited to learn about God, while beginning to recognize how His love is growing in their hearts.
Grades 1-5
This month in Lakeside Kids, we’ll be exploring The Look of Love — a series helping kids understand how God grows His love in us through the fruit of the Spirit. Each week we’ll discover how love shows up in everyday life through joy, peace, patience, and kindness, and how the Holy Spirit shapes our hearts to look more like Jesus.
Through Bible stories, interactive teaching, and meaningful conversations, kids will learn that God’s love isn’t just something we talk about — it’s something we live. As we walk through Galatians 5:22–23 together, our prayer is that children grow in character, compassion, and confidence in God’s presence in their lives.
Communion
for Kids
Communion can be celebrated by anyone who follows Jesus, but we believe parents know best when their child is ready to participate.
