Support our Teens!

In summer 2027, our teens have the opportunity to attend Unite, the triennial youth conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church. Unite is five unforgettable days of worship, teaching, prayer, high energy activities, and meaningful service — a formative experience that invites students into deeper faith and shared life.

The conference will be held in Lincoln, Nebraska, and over the next year our teens will be fundraising to help cover their costs. Thank you for considering how you can support them.

Rake & Rally - October 17th 2026 (Back up date October 24th)

Let our youth tackle some of your fall cleanup while you help them get to the Unite Conference!

On Saturday, October 17th, teams of two SWITCH teens will head out into the community to help with fall yard work.

Book a one-hour time slot for $40, with all proceeds supporting our youth and their Unite Conference fundraising efforts.

Have leaves that need raking, a yard that needs tidying? Sign up for a time that works for you, and we’ll send two teens your way!

Register at the back table on Sundays our teens will be there to help you out.

Please note: You’ll need to provide any bags for leaves required for the work you’d like completed.

Bottle Drive - October 17th 2026 (Back up date October 24th)

You can support Lake Ridge Youth at any time by bringing your bottles to the Chestermere Bottle Depot (behind Safeway)

and telling them to donate your return to Lake Ridge Community Church. 

But on October 17th, you can sign up to have our youth come and collect your bottles from your house! 

All you need to do is pack your bottles into bags that can be collected and brought to the Depot – you don’t need

to be home to have your bottles collected, just leave them somewhere accessible and we’ll come and get them.

Register online or at the back table on Sundays!

Never-Ending Bottle Drive
