Great Lakes Kids Ministry

Equipping + Partnering with Parents to Disciple Kids

Great Lakes Kids is a safe, fun place for kids to learn about loving God and loving others! We believe parents and guardians are the primary spiritual leaders for our children and Great Lakes Kids Ministry is called to support and equip the home to take on that anointed role.

Great Lakes Kids is available for children 6 weeks old through 5th grade during the Sunday service. Our Elementary class worships with their families during the first part of service before going to class. We believe in the transforming impact of worshiping together as family as our children experience the power of corporate worship! A secure check-in system ensures a safe environment for families. A 5-digit security code on your parent tag matches your child’s name tag. This 5-digit code will flash on the screen during service if your child needs attention in their classroom.
