At Lakes, we believe that every child is created in the image of God, and as such has a divine capacity to think, learn, serve and exist. Kids have an innate ability to have faith in, to hear from and to trust in God. It's our privilege, along with you, to nurture and walk alongside your kids in their journey with God.

Every week we want to create an environment where young people can encounter God, learn the big story of the Bible and discover their God given gifts and talents, while providing opportunities to serve the family using those gifts and talents. 

LAKES'KIDS

WHY FAMILY?

We believe God doesn't just call us to love families, he calls us to be a part of His family; that is why families matter. From the great grandparents to the youngest new born baby, family is the heartbeat of God's church. This family transcends gender, race, social class and upbringing. It is a coming together and uniting of peoples created in the image of God.

At Lakes, we want to do life together the way that God always intended. That means having fun, eating food together, learning from each other and journeying through the tough stuff in life - all built on a foundation of love. Through this family, the Gospel will reach all corners of our wider community.

We regularly have our 'church family service', which is simply a chance for us to pay special attention to our church family.  The operating function of these Sundays is without a doubt FUN. Whether it's some seriously dance-inducing praise, science experiments with Professor Petri or simple talks that impact the head and the heart, church family services are always a highlight. 

SAFE SPACES

We want to provide the safest environments possible where we are working with children and youth. Please be assured that every one of our leaders have done the Working with Children Check and have been trained in the Safe Spaces and aim to provide safe spaces as per the training. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact our Safety Concerns Person: Tim Stonehouse.
