At Lakeside, we believe God is inviting us to what Jesus called abundant life. This kind of life is about transformation—God making new and beautiful things out of our brokenness. God is not only concerned with what happens to us after we die, He invites us in to a daily experience and relationship with Him.

At the core of our identity, we are humans made in the image of God—designed to be in relationship with Him. We believe Jesus made it possible for us to be in this relationship. The Bible sometimes calls this the Gospel. Gospel means good news or good headlines. Lakeside Church is all about sharing this good news—God loves you. You belong. There is a place for you.

We don’t have to have it all together to approach God. Following Jesus is about reorienting our life around Him. Surrendering to Him. Seeking Him. Paying attention to the things He is already doing in us.

God’s been pursuing you for a long time. If you have questions about following Jesus, we’d love to help. Please tell us on your Connect Card (in a chair pocket near you) or stop by the infobar in the lobby before you leave and get us your info. We’d love to have a conversation with you and we’ll make sure someone gets in contact with you. You can also always email us at info@lakesidechurch.com.

““Every year our Kidsfest team looks

forward to teaching the story of Jesus’s birth and sharing the message

of hope with our children. Leading this ministry is a true blessing and privilege. Your children bring such light and joy to our church, and we value each one of them. We hope you enjoy today’s performance as much as we enjoyed preparing for it. Please don’t forget to sing along with us!”

—Jen Jarvis, Children’s Ministry Pastor
