2026 Set Free Summer Camp Was a Big Success!
“Set Free Summer Camp” was a wonderful success! Fifteen teenagers gathered at White Lake Christian Camp for a meaningful time of faith, fellowship, and fun.
Throughout our time together, we saw God move in powerful ways. New friendships were formed, students stepped out of their comfort zones, and teens encouraged one another with kindness, biblical wisdom, and genuine care. Most importantly, our students learned about and experienced the freedom that is found in Jesus Christ.
Camp was filled with smiles, laughter, hard work, fun activities, and so much love. We are grateful for the memories made, the relationships strengthened, and the spiritual growth that took place.
Surely, God did exceedingly abundantly above all we could ask, think, or imagine during this year’s “Set Free Summer Camp.”
Youth and Children’s Ministry
The Lake Church Youth and Children’s Ministry exists to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, equip children and teenagers to live fruitful lives as disciples of Christ, and encourage them to make disciples of others.
At The Lake Church, we believe the truth of John 8:32: “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Our Youth and Children’s Ministry is built on the power of God’s Word to transform lives. Through the teaching of Scripture and the work of the Holy Spirit, we believe God will do marvelous things in and through the lives of our children and teenagers.
