Lakeland Community Church has a strong emphasis on incarnational ministry. While teaching and engaging students in creative, developmentally appropriate ways are necessary, the director must be passionate about building relationships with students and seek to build a team of volunteers who will help develop followers of Jesus for the next generation. The director must also be a collaborative partner with parents in the spiritual development of the student as well as a team of volunteers who will serve students.
