We treasure your children.
Lakeside Kids Team
Jennifer Jarvis
Children’s Ministry Pastor
“It is my privilege to lead our ministry to children at Lakeside. I love helping kids get to know Jesus and begin to experience God’s love for them. I love leading our Lakeside Kids team toward creating environments that children trust and love. Every smile, hug, word of encouragement, and prayer helps our children understand what the kingdom of God is all about, and being a part of this is a joy.”
Jen Pappani,
babies - age 3 coordinator
“I always want children to feel valued and cared for at church so they enjoy coming again. My desire is for them to experience God's love and learn how to follow him with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength.”
Hilary Dale,
age 4 - 2nd grade coordinator
“Kids this age are passionate, playful, and have a hunger for knowledge and relationships. It is an honor and a blessing to be able to pour into their hearts every weekend. It fills me with joy to give them a safe and loving place to receive a foundation of biblical truths, fun memories, and a deeper understanding of God's love for them.”
KELLY KAMINSKAS,
3RD - 5TH GRADE COORDINATOR
“Working with children is all-in, all the time, and I wouldn’t change it for the world! They are so much fun and full of creativity, big dreams, and an unfiltered willingness to learn. Knowing I can make a difference in someone’s family makes this ministry worthwhile.”
KAREN ADKINSON, SPECIAL NEEDS PROGRAM COORDINATOR
"It is such a joy to work alongside Lakeside's amazing volunteers to provide a loving, fun, and supportive environment for our special needs kids and teens.”
Laurie Williams, Senior support specialist
“I am blessed to be able to support the Lakeside Kids staff administratively. My children and grandchildren have grown in their walk with Jesus in this special ministry.”
Ashley White,
Childcare Coordinator
“Kids make everything more fun. They are energetic, creative and life giving! Seeing their joyful faces and hearts shine brings me happiness. They are a light—God's light shining out into the world. My hope is to help their light shine as bright as possible.”
MICHELLE CHAVEZ, VOLUNTEER AND EVENTS COORDINATOR
“Imagine if we all could see the world through a child’s eyes with the pure joy that Christ intended for us to see. I’m so excited I get the chance to work with others to create a place for our kids to come experience the joy of God’s love.”
