Youth Social Bonfire
October 30 7:00 - 8:30 pm
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.
Many of our favourite movies, from Toy Story to Moana, tell the stories of characters who are on a journey to discover who they are and what they were created to do. The stories in Scripture are like this too, but with one big difference: in the Bible, humans aren't the main characters — God is. In this series, we'll explore the stories of people like Cain and Abel, Elijah, Naomi, Ruth, Esther, and some of the earliest Jesus-followers in order to see that who we are can best be understand in the context of who God is. When we discover who our Creator is, we can better understand who we were created to be. Because of who God is, we can trust how God has made us, we can do difficult things, we can embrace the unknown, and we can take risks for others.
Plain and simple, we want our young people to:
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!
