Youth Week!
Lakewood Youth Events
Youth Week – celebrate the end of Summer and the beginning of the school year with fun-filled events. Invite friends to get acquainted with our Youth Ministry. Happens in August.
Senior High Retreat– relax, disconnect from the busyness of life, and reconnect with God and each other at beautiful Mount Eagle.
Spring Break Mission Trip
Mixing service with fun, every other year, our youth take a mission trip over Spring Break to a bigger US city to learn more about the community and how we can be the living light of Christ anywhere we go.
Spring Break Skiing
The alternate years we aren’t doing a mission trip, we take a fellowship spring break trip! Our ski trips to Winter Park, Colorado have provided much needed bonding time and an opportunity to learn to #bethelight in all parts of our lives! Weeks have a theme and we continue to grow in our connection with the Lord and each other as we become a tighter community of followers.
More Missions.
We love to take any opportunity throughout the year to take care of community in some way. From making appreciation bags for local firefighters/police officers to helping out at the the Food Bank and Recycle Bikes for Kids, we’ve many local missions we love to help where we can!
