Our Family Ministries team seeks to disciple children, youth, and families in our church and community well through events, resources, classes, and activities. Below you'll find information about our current ministries. Check back here for updates and current events!
Kids Bible Classes and Nursery
During our Worship service, children ages 3 through 3rd grade are invited to a special class just for them! Working with The Gospel Project curriculum, the children get a Bible based lesson presented on their level. Nursery is also available for the little ones 2 and under. Children are welcome to stay during the sermon as well. All ministry workers have their child protection clearances.
Snack and Yack
After the Worship service, students in grades 3-7 who heard the sermon meet in Pastor Matt's office for a snack and a brief interactive conversation with church leaders about the message.
Weekly Youth Group
Our youth group meets on Sunday evenings at 7:00 at the church in the upstairs youth room. All students in grades 7 and up are invited for games, snacks, and fun while learning to study the Bible together. Teens are encouraged to bring their own Bible (let us know if your student doesn’t have their own). Bring your friends along, too! Contact families@lansefree.org for more information.
The Family Table
The Family Table is our weekly email to equip families well to disciple their kids. In it, you'll find Family Ministries news, upcoming events, and resources. It comes out every Sunday afternoon. To subscribe, visit this link.

Contacting our Director of Family Ministry
You can contact Jordyn Skacel, our brand-new Director of Family Ministry, at families@lansefree.org. She would love to hear how she can serve your family well!
The Gospel Project at Home
Our Kids Bible Classes have utilized The Gospel Project as our Bible study curriculum. It takes our Little Learners and Bible Explorers through the whole Bible while always focusing on Jesus as the center of the big story.
To reinforce what your kids are learning each week in Children’s Church, you can access The Gospel Project At Home online. Each week in The Family Table email, there is a link you can follow to get this free resource which includes:
1. A guide to using the Gospel Project at Home.
2. Scripture to read and discuss with a recap video of the Bible Story (Preschool and/or Elementary).
3. Scripture memory verses and a song to sing together.
4. Prayer prompts and family activities that correspond to the lesson.
Please consider setting aside at least 10–15 minutes once a week for a family devotional time using this resource as a guide. We hope that The Gospel Project At Home will help keep all of our LEFC kids “on the same page,” and feed their faith in Jesus.
**Note: The first time you access the link, you will need to register a free account with Lifeway’s Ministry Grid. This will also provide you ongoing access through the “training” tab to many other discipleship resources including the Gospel Project at Home for previous weeks, and it's all free!
