What is WAKE?

WAKE is the youth ministry of The Lakes Assembly, a church in Rockwall, TX. WAKE is also a movement with the goal of helping young people find purpose, passion, and direction for their lives through Christ-centered activities.

Being a Student in WAKE is certainly a life changing and forever impacting experience. From the time they enter the door till the time we have our post service small group time, students are given a chance to experience God and connect with each other. Student’s can depend on WAKE to be the highlight of there week.

D-Group

D represents the word discipleship. Discipleship is a primary focus of WAKE. These groups consist of an adult sponsorship program as well as a teen discipleship class coupled with a summer internship program for students and college age students who may be interested in working in ministry or business. D-Group is our main leadership outlet for personal development ministry.

Set Apart

Set apart is our divided guys and girls program. In order to explain how to live a full life as a man or women of God, there must be time set apart from each other to deal with the issues that are specific to our gender. This program will include purity conferences, small group devotions, theme nights and sermon series.

Pack-Yo-Ride

This is in essence the beginnings of bus ministry. As we do not have buses, we will be asking parents and dedicated volunteers to provide a ride to church. The concept is simple, a teenager sponsored by a parent or volunteer will communicate with the parent as to how many kids will need a ride. The kids come over to the student’s house after school to hang out. At the designated time the parent or volunteer will pick the kids up and drop them off at church. After church the parent that drove them will be responsible to drop them off.

Young Life

Young life consists of three areas

Home Groups:
This is the small group programs that are centralized around small group curriculum at a parent or adult leaders home.

Outreach Nights:
These are fellowship nights and home hangouts as well as all nighters. These groups will be organized by student leaders and have adult leadership and parent oversight.

Young life is our way to connect all our students to each other within their community and help create connection
