At Lakeside, we’re committed to helping people discover and fully follow Jesus. Whether you’re new or you’ve been around for years, take a step, then another one, then another one. The Christian life is a journey and we’re here to walk alongside you.

If you don’t know what your next step is yet, check out some of the most popular next steps that people around Lakeside take when they’re looking to start or grow their faith, get connected, or find healing.

We believe everyone can:

Encounter God – It’s a relationship
Move Forward – It’s a journey towards Jesus
Experience Community – You don’t have to go it alone
Serve Others – We all have gifts to share
Change the World – The future of the church lies outside our walls

So, take a step today.

GET THE NEWSLETTER

One of the first and easiest next steps you can take is to sign up for our Monday newsletter, The Monday 5. Every Monday you’ll get an update on what’s happening at Lakeside and links to upcoming events. It’s a great way to stay connected to what is going on here!

GET BAPTIZED

Once you’ve made the decision to fully follow Jesus, the next step is baptism; it’s a outward expression of faith. We celebrate baptisms throughout the year during our Sunday morning gatherings. If you’d like to be baptized (or would like more information), fill out this quick form and we’ll be in touch.

JOIN A SMALL GROUP

We believe that life change is best facilitated in small groups. Why? Simply, God created us to live in community. We were created to have a relationship with Him and with others. Genuine life change occurs within the context of relationships. There are groups for men, women, young adults, singles, special interests, and mixed groups. Click below to see what groups are being offered at this time. New groups are being added all the time, so check back periodically.

BECOME A PARTNER

Partnership is our word for “membership.” We believe that it best reflects the relationship between an individual and their church community. Every team needs a roster – every school an enrollment – every country a census – and every church community needs a group of core people when it comes to commitment.

SAY YES!

Serving at Lakeside means you’re not just filling a position or meeting a need, but you’re saying YES to what God has in store for you. Click below to find an opportunity today.
