6th–12th graders, who’s ready for a summer camp experience that could change everything?

This summer, we’re heading to Chattanooga, TN for a week packed with fun, friendships, and meaningful moments with Jesus.

At Generate Camp, students experience high-energy worship, world-class speakers, and intentional small group time designed to help them grow deeper in their faith. Add in camp-led activities like basketball and volleyball tournaments, pool time, and hanging out with friends, and you’ve got a week students won’t forget!

We truly believe summer camp can be a landmark moment in a student’s life. It’s a chance to step away from everyday distractions and be propelled forward in faith through worship, teaching, discipleship, and a whole lot of fun - experiences that continue to shape students long after camp ends.

Ash Wednesday marks the start of the Lent season for followers of Jesus.

On this day, people come to church to engage in a time of reflection, confession, and prayer, and then to be marked with ashes as a symbol and reminder of our mortality and the scripture Genesis 3:19: “For dust you are and to dust you shall return.”

Join us for this time of worship on February 18 at 6 pm.

Story Night exists to give Lake Forest Youth the opportunity to...

- share their testimonies with one another.

- worship unabashedly and with freedom of movement and expression.

- pray as a community, both giving praise and yielding to God.

This event is 'by youth, for youth.' All 6th-12th graders are welcome.

There’s no registration needed; just come as you are and bring a friend!

Calling all 3rd–5th grade kids and parents!

Join us for a fun, hands-on class designed to help you and your child learn how to navigate, read, and study the Bible together. We’ll walk through the structure of Scripture, practice simple study tools, and explore how to help kids engage with God’s Word in meaningful, age-appropriate ways.

Whether you’re brand new to the Bible or looking to grow deeper as a family, this class will equip you with practical skills and shared rhythms you can continue at home.

Parents, please register you and your kid(s) at the link below.

You do not have to be a Ministry Partner/Member to be baptized at Lake Forest Church. Read more about what we believe about baptism here.

Discover your role in God’s story and define your next step through Lake Forest 101!

During each of the four phases of this class, led by our pastors and completed in one weekend, you will learn more about Lake Forest, identify where you are spiritually, and make new friends who are all seeking to take their next step in this journey that we call faith.

As you discover your role in God’s story, you’ll build relationships, find places to share your gifts and, upon completion of all four phases, you will have the opportunity to become an LFC Ministry Partner.

We were never meant to do life alone, and church is about more than just showing up on Sundays.

On April 12, join us for a half-hour Community Connect after each service and discover the many ways you can build meaningful relationships at Lake Forest. Whether you’re new, have been attending for a while, or are simply craving deeper connection, this is a great next step.

You’ll hear why community matters, learn about groups, mentoring, and other ways to get connected, and have a chance to talk with our team about what you’re looking for in this season of life. No pressure - just a helpful, welcoming space to explore how God might be inviting you into deeper relationships.

Come as you are. Stay for a few minutes. You might just find your people.
