Our FaithWe got together and decided as youth we need to be accountable, to God and to each other. We chose this verse as our "accountability verse". For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and not of yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9, NIV We are blessed through the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. He tells us in 1 Corinthians 13:13, "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." He loved us that we may have everlasting life. Through his love for us, by his grace, we are able to know love so we need to show love. We invite you to join us Sunday morning for fellowship with God, to praise HIS holy name! Click on Lock-in link below to see photos

What the Youth Ministry is all about...
Church of the Lakes Youth Ministry is an existing ministry within the confines of Church of the Lakes. Our Ministry seeks to minister solely to youth within the confines of local church. (We define youth as anyone between 6th and 12th grade.)
Our purpose statement seeks to clarify why this department exists.
Our Purpose statement: Church of the Lakes Youth Ministry exists to cultivate students to (1) Know God by loving Him with all of their heart, (2) Grow in Christ Jesus through discipleship and fellowship, and (3) Reach lost students with the gospel of Jesus Christ by going into our world. This purpose statement can be broken down into three key words for easy recognition. These three terms are most often cited and seen. They simply reflect the previous detailed statement.
TO KNOW (To Know Christ Through Worship)
TO GROW (To Grow in Christ Through Discipleship and Fellowship)
TO GO (To Go with Christ Through Ministry and Missions)
We exist to teach students to fulfill the great commandment and the great commission. That alone is our purpose. Every event that we entertain, every class that we teach, and every plan that we make will have one of these purposes in mind.

Church of the Lakes Youth Ministry firmly believes in the process of teaching and preaching the Word of God. In our purpose statement, we claim that one of our three purposes is to grow in Christ. We believe this is done most effectively through the preaching and teaching of the Word of God. Therefore, it is necessary that we lay a foundation for our teaching so that others may come and properly build upon it.
Our aim in teaching the Word is to grow our students through discipleship. We teach about the majesty and glory of God. We desire to ignite a passion for learning God’s Word with the minds of teenagers. Also, we will not undermine, in any way, the education ministry of the church. It is our goal to work hand in hand with this ministry.
