Providing leadership opportunities for our children is an important part of the LakeRidge Methodist Church children’s department. As we strive to have a multi generational church service,  kindergarten - 5th graders are given the opportunity  to recite the prayer in the Sanctuary at the 9:15 and 10:30 services on the third Sunday of every month. We rotate children throughout the year in this position.  

A time for kids to come together and learn to worship though modern praise music. The children will perform several times in the Sanctuary and LakeRidge Praise throughout the school year. For children in Kindergarten through 5th Grade.
