Youth Social
February 26 7:00 pm
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 February
When Jesus was on earth, he wasn’t exactly known for telling people what they wanted to hear. Jesus’ message was unlike any message people had ever heard before. He didn’t give shallow motivational speeches or feel-good sermons. He didn’t recycle the same messages other religious leaders were teaching. He flipped people’s ideas about God, the world, and themselves completely upside down — usually in uncomfortable ways. And that’s always how God’s words have worked! In this four-week series, we’ll compare Jesus’ words in the Gospels with the words of the Old Testament prophets to see how God’s words have always challenged our understanding of what’s wrong or right, good or bad, and just or unjust. We’ll talk about how, both then and now, God flips our assumptions about who God values, our definition of righteousness, our understanding of what’s good enough, and our definition of justice.
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!
