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.

When do we gather?

Middle and High School youth gather on Sunday evenings for a time of fun, friendship, and building faith.
We also have bible studies on Wednesday night for all youth.
Check out the calendar and full list of events for details.
