Sunday Worship
Forest Lake Youth (FLY)
Forest Lake Youth is a welcoming community of 6th-12th graders and faithful adults who seek to know and love God through Jesus Christ, and to share God's grace with the world!
Forest Lake Youth is a fun place to be yourself, learn about Jesus Christ and our faith, help others, and just hang out with other young people!
FLY typically meets on Sunday and Wednesday nights. We often split into Middle School (6th-8th grade) and High School (9th-12th grade) groups to help youth identify with those closest to their own age.
