Preschool And Children

Lakeland's Preschool & Children's Ministry exists...

To partner with parents to see children and families grow in wisdom, faith, and stature. Our desire is to help build a foundational faith in children and to equip them to serve the kingdom of God.

What We Do

Sunday School

We have Sunday School classes for ages birth through 5th grade at 9:00 AM every Sunday. We are currently studying the Bible chronologically and applying it to Children’s everyday lives.

Children’s Worship

Children’s Worship is for children birth through 2nd Grade and meets at 10:30 AM. Children’s Worship uses various large group and small group activities to teach our young children how to worship through Bible study, song, and play.

EQUIPPED

Equipped is our Wednesday night activity for 1st through 5th grade. The objective is to see boys and girls grow in their faith through spiritual disciplines and ministry involvement, and to support families in the discipleship of their children. There are five primary components of our Equipped program: partnership with parents, disciple group, ministry training, ministry involvement, and missions.

Family Dedication

The Dedication Ceremony is a commitment by the parent/parents to train and teach their child the love of God, the Word of God, the character of God, and a life of obedience to God. This special event is an opportunity for parents to make a public declaration that their child is a gift from God and they will raise their child unto the Lord with His guidance in a Christ-centered home.

@HOME Parent Forum

Our parent forums meet once each semester during the Sunday School Hour. These forums are for parents of children Birth-18 years old. The purpose of these forums is to cover what family discipleship looks like in a variety of situations that arise in everyday home life.

Summer Opportunities

VBS

VBS typically takes place one week in June, Monday-Friday. Our 2026 theme will be Lifeway’s Illumination Station! This will be the brightest week of the year! While many people claim to know about Jesus, many are in the dark about who He really is. Some might see Jesus as just a person from history, a good man, or a wise teacher but He is much more than that. At Illumination Station VBS, kids will be challenged to answer Jesus’ important question to His disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” As they explore all the way light brightens, illuminates, reflects, and reveals, kids will discover that Jesus is the light who brings hope to a dark world.

Mini Camp

This one night camp is for those who have completed 1st or 2nd grade. This is all the best of camp packed into 24hrs to give kids their first taste of summer camp away from home.

Preteen Camp

This 5 day, 4 night camp is for children who have completed 3rd-5th grade. Each summer we travel to Camp Copass where we worship, eat, and have Bible study together. At camp our kids also have the freedom to pick the treks that they want to do!
