Lakeview’s Children’s Ministry seeks to teach Children in grades 1-6 to know their purpose in life: to honor and glorify God by receiving Jesus Christ as Savior, to know God’s Word, and to tell this Good News.
“Teach the children to love the Lord their God with all their heart, with all their soul, and with all their might” -Deuteronomy 6:5

“In His Hands” is designed to help families who have children with special needs be able to worship together while their children are shown and taught about the love of Christ by familiar adults. Our goal is to form teams of buddies for each special friend that will assist them on Sunday mornings. Buddies will volunteer on a weekly or monthly rotation.
MORE INFO
Near His Heart is a night full of celebration, in honor of families and loved ones with disabilities. Our main focus is to encourage and uplift the parents and caregivers through offering them a night of dinner and an encouraging message while their children (special needs & Siblings) enjoy a special event just for them. This event is offered free of charge but you must register.
