Youth & Family Ministry

Chain of Lakes Church strongly believes in the Core Value of "Investing in Future Generations."  Below are some of the ways the Youth and Family Ministry (YFM) demonstrates that commitment.

Youth & Family Activities

Children are invited to participate in the Kid’s Church and Nursery programs during Sunday service. Children aged 5 and under can be checked in at the nursery when you arrive,  and elementary aged children will be dismissed during the worship service. 

Thanks to the children for singing this Sunday, April 21!  A special thanks to Music Director, Jan Boehm for coordinating the kids choir.

The Kids’ Church will be sharing two songs with everyone next week in worship. This is a wonderful opportunity to invite family and special friends to come listen as they share these songs in service.

Youth Group meets regularly on Wednesday evenings from 6-8pm.  All youth 5th Grade – 12th grade are invited to attend, friends are welcome!

Volunteers are needed in Kids’ Church and Nursery on Sunday mornings. Consider signing up to help once every 4-6 weeks. Contact Amanda at Amanda.S@colpres.org or sign up on the communication card.

Erin Anderson from Clearwater Forest Camp will be sharing about camp opportunities this summer during worship on May 5th. Stay after worship that Sunday for hot dogs and enjoy a camp themed treat. Consider donating to the Youth Scholarship fund after worship to support students participate in camp and other youth activities. Brochures for camp are available at the table in the Welcome Center. 

Investing in Future Generations…this is a fundamental, vital Core Value of Chain of Lakes. And Chain of Lakes Director of Family Ministries—Amanda Serfling—and the Family Ministries Team are focused on meeting the spiritual development needs of young people aged birth through 12th grade with educational and spiritual programming throughout the year. Amanda and the current volunteer team of Amy Cory, Kayla Flanagan, Jordon Serfling, Val Owens, Isaiaha Sanchez, and Liza Socolova along with youth leadership volunteers Chris Audet, Bob Bushard and Heather Butterfield welcome additional volunteers to either join the team or assist with any of the family ministry activities/events.
