 Children's Ministry
"Behold, children are a gift
of the Lord." Psalms 127:3
Lakeside Baptist Church has a passion for
children. This passion motivates us to provide a
secure, loving and learning environment for
our children. It is our desire to see children
develop spiritually, socially, physically,
mentally and emotionally. To encourage this
development, we provide age appropriate
activities and Bible studies regularly on Sundays
and Wednesdays with extra activities
throughout the year.
The preschool and children's departments are
staffed with compassionate teachers and
workers who love the Lord and
children. It is their goal to provide a fun and exciting learning
environment for our children where the love of Christ is expressed.
Jesus loves children and
so do we at Lakeside Baptist Church.
We believe it is important for children to love God. We teach them to
live lives that are
pleasing to God and to be empowered by His Spirit.
We desire for the children to love Jesus, their Savior. The Scriptures
lovingly describe how
parents would bring their children to Jesus for
Him to bless and how Jesus said we must
become like little children if
we are to enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 18:3). It is a
privilege
for us to share with children that Jesus is the Son of God and that He
died for our
sins, rose from the dead and will return for them.
We also want them to love the Bible. Children learn that the Bible is
the Living Word of God,
the absolute truth and the standard by which
they should live. They also discover that God's
Word is fun to read and
describes how much God loves them.
