At Lake Cities UMC, we want to walk alongside families as they grow in faith and in life. This survey will help us better understand the areas where families most need support—whether spiritually, relationally, or practically—so that we can shape ministries and opportunities that truly meet those needs. Our vision is to equip and encourage families to thrive in Christ, grow together in community, and find hope for the challenges of everyday life.
