Welcome

We are honored you are considering a visit to Christ Church! No matter who you are, we would love to have you join us at one of our campuses for a service. From the moment you walk in the door, we hope you feel welcome, from the free coffee to the friendly faces. Our services are about an hour long and include worship and an inspirational message. For your younger family members, we have safe and fun age-appropriate services for them as well.

Visiting Christ Church

For more than forty years Christ Church has been a beacon of hope in Lake County helping people discover life with God. Even though we are four campuses, we are one church that believes life is better together. We hope when you visit one of our locations you will find a warm and welcoming place to connect with friends and grow your faith. We are not meant to go it alone, so no matter where you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here.

Lighthouse Kids → Kids (0-3rd Grade)

Each service, we have special age-appropriate classrooms for your kids, ages newborn through 8th grade, to participate in. For kids up to third grade, they get to participate in Lighthouse Kids. Your kids will be busy, in both large and small group settings, learning about Jesus in interactive ways.

Fleet 45 → 4th-5th Grade

For our fourth and fifth graders, we have a special group called Fleet 45. In their group, they continue to learn about God, but they also incorporate serving, leadership and spiritual growth into their weekly programming.

The Cove → Middle School (6th-8th Grade)

Middle schoolers are in The Cove, which builds on Fleet 45. The same emphasis on serving, leadership and fun are incorporated, while digging deeper. Extra retreats and mission trips help enrich these lessons into real-life experiences!

High School (9th-12th Grade)

SHYG (Senior High Youth Group for grades 9-12) is all about reaching high schoolers and developing them into wise, life-long followers of Jesus. Students are invited to participate no matter where they are in their faith journey.
