PARENTS

As parents of youth, you are tasked with quite a responsibility to raise students that follow the example set by Jesus Christ. Elevated Youth Ministries is prepared to come alongside parents to help guide their youth through these challenging years in which they are seeking more and more independence.

Behavior Expectations

Our ministries are designed to create a safe and welcoming atmosphere for any student that walks through our doors. In order to accomplish this, we hold students to certain expectations during their time here:
  • Respect to each other.
  • Respect our volunteers, leaders, and pastors.
  • Respect our church property.
Safety Procedures and Policies

We have established policies and procedures for all church events and celebrations in our continuing pursuit to create a safe atmosphere for youth.
  • All pastors, leaders and volunteers have completed the application process, which includes a national background check, and student ministries training.
  • A 1-to-10 ratio of pastors/leaders/volunteers to youth is maintained during all LSCC events.
  • All students must check-in. They are not released until the end of the event/celebration or until a parent picks them up.
Parents/guardians will be contacted if any youth violates LSCC behavior expectations.

Volunteering in Student Ministries

We have a lot of students, which means we have a lot of volunteer opportunities. We encourage parents to consider investing in the youth of Lake Sawyer Christian Church by applying to volunteer. No one knows better how to meet the needs of a child than a parent. We have many different opportunities to fit your specific availability, interest and gifting. Non adult, student volunteers are also valuable assets to the Student Ministries program, and are encouraged to apply.
