Where children encounter God’s love, grow in faith, and become passionate lifelong followers of Jesus.
Faith is an adventure!
We call our Kids Ministry ‘Kidventure’ because our faith is an adventure! We strive to create a happy place for both you and your kid. When kids come to Kidventure, they are cared for by nurturing, trained leaders in spaces where they can find a connection to God and friends that’s fun, safe, and engaging.
We want to partner with parents in the spiritual development of their kids – loving each child as they discover and live out their role in God’s story.
Faith
When faith takes root, it becomes a lifelong foundation in Jesus.
Fun
When kids feel safe and have fun, faith begins to grow. (Phil 4:13)
Friendship
When kids feel they belong, they learn to love, serve, and follow Jesus together.
Family
When we partner with families, faith thrives beyond Sunday and into everyday life.

We can’t wait to meet you!
It’s important you know your kids are in good hands, so you can participate in worship worry-free. Every person who works with kids at Lake Forest is required to pass a background check and receive proper training.
Plan to arrive 15 minutes before the service starts. We’ll check your child in using our computer kiosks and introduce you to the guides your child will be with during service. You’ll receive identification tags that match your child’s, which include: notes on any allergies or special needs your child may have, a code for paging you during service (when necessary), and to ensure only you can pick up your kid after service.
For the safety and wellness of everyone in Kidventure, we ask that you do not place your child in our program while they are experiencing the following conditions: recent cold (four days or less), fever, rash, persistent cough, diarrhea or any other signs of illness.
Sunday Morning
Each Sunday Morning, Kidventure holds programming for all kids (babies – 5th grade), where they can attend Kidventure at 8:30 , 9:50, or 11:10 am! Our time together consists of a Bible story, games and interaction, crafts, a memory verse, and more!
Your kids will always be welcomed by dedicated, friendly folks who do everything possible to help bring smiles (we’ve also been known to make bribes using Goldfish crackers), and who are background checked for their safety. Our leaders are called Guides as they help guide kids on their faith journey!
Club 54
Club 54 meets every Sunday and offers a discussion-based curriculum that is tailored to 4th-5th graders in their unique season of life.
Additionally, Club 54 holds events throughout the year and a Foundations class for 5th graders that helps them explore their faith in Jesus.Events
During the year, we host a collection of events for kids and families! Each Easter, we host ‘The Hunt,’ and each summer, we host a week-long summer day camp called ‘Adventure Camp.’
Next Gen Trail Guide
We’ve created the Next Gen Trail Guide, a six-step journey, to assist families in raising kids who have a faith in God that they will take with them into adulthood. Along the trail are Mile Markers—or special events—where parents and kids learn together and commemorate these key moments. We will also provide resources for the seasons between Mile Markers to inform you of the faith skills that your kids are learning in Kidventure and Youth and equip you with tools for home.
Youth
Lake Forest Youth exists to make disciples of youth (grades 6 – 12) who love Jesus, love others as they love themselves, and serve the world through weekly worship, small groups, bible study, camps, and more!
