Next Steps
Are you just starting your journey toward Jesus? Do you have some faith background but you haven’t thought about God in a while? Are you at a place in life where you want to reignite your faith?
Or are you already a devoted follower of Jesus looking to deepen your faith or have a more personal relationship?
No matter where you are along your journey, there are steps you can take to help you discover and fully follow Jesus, so pick one and get started.
FIND COMMUNITY
Volunteering 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 using your unique gifts and abilities.
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.
Partnership is our word for “membership.” We believe that it best reflects the relationship between an individual and their church community. If Lakeside is your church, partner with us.
As a church family we come alongside one another and hold each other in prayer. Now more than ever, we are available to pray for and with each other. There is no greater honour.
DISCOVER & FULLY FOLLOW
A great place to start is with the Alpha experience. It is an opportunity to ask questions and explore ideas that may be new to you about the Christian faith. It’s for anyone just starting a faith journey or looking for a refresher.
One of the key steps in following Jesus is being baptized. It may sound weird but it’s a very powerful spiritual experience – a living symbol of the change that happens to us as we live each day with Jesus.
We have a number of gifted pastors on staff who would love the chance to sit down and have coffee with you. We’re here to answer questions, wrestle with Scripture, dialogue, offer support, and walk alongside you.
When you give to the church, it’s done from a place of love and generosity, not obligation. When you give, it changes lives and God changes you. And we love to see what God does with a heart like that.
