The Worship and Arts Department at Lake Avenue Church is about the praise and worship of God. It is our privilege to teach children and students to use the gifts and talents God has given them to praise Him. We want to encourage and empower them to develop and use those gifts, both in the church worship setting, and in the community where we live. We want children and students to not only make a joyful noise but to have a joyful experience in the process. What they experience in this program will serve them a lifetime as they learn about our Lord and how to praise Him. - John Stothers

"Let everything that breathes, praise the Lord." — Psalm 150:6
