The Friend Ship Company offers age-appropriate teaching, tailored to our kid’s comprehension level. Teachers value children, helping them foster a friendship with Jesus and other children.

We have classes for children from newborns up through fifth grade. The age breakdown and group names are as follows:

• Nursery Crow’s Nest
• 1 & 2 year olds First & Second Mates
• 3 – 5 year olds Skippers
• K – 2nd graders Ship Mates
• 3rd – 5th graders Captains

When kids arrive at Lakeshore, they sign onto the Ship and find their color-coded nametag (each room has it’s own colored tags). Activities on board consist of coloring pages, puzzles or crafts, as well as Bible stories, singing, games, prayer and snack. The morning’s activities are planned around the Bible story so that the children can learn Bible truths that they can apply to their daily lives, grow in their understanding of God’s love for them, and either develop or deepen their friendship with Jesus Christ. The time spent enjoying puzzles, coloring activities or crafts is an excellent way for the children to deepen their relationships with one another and their teachers as well.

Of course, God does not have a monopoly on Sunday mornings for teaching our kids; any day of the week is fair game for learning about His love. So, we offer an opportunity for the kids to meet together every first and third Thursday of the month during the Common Ground midweek service at the Common Ground Kids’ CAFÉ.

Join our crew…we’re sailing with God!
