Next Steps

We’re so happy that you’re here and ready to take some important next steps. Our vision for Lakeside is to be a community helping people discover and fully follow Jesus, and we want you to be a part of that too.

We want you to get to know people. We want you to feel accepted. We want you to feel encouraged. We want you to grow. We want you to encounter God. We want your faith to explode. And, as Rick Warren (author of The Purpose Driven Life) puts it, we want you to be a belonger, not just a believer.

So, how does that happen? How do you really belong here? It’s as simple as showing up and joining us in the work we’re called to do – which is all about loving people. There are a number of ways to get involved (they’re in no particular order), so pick one and let’s get started.

But before you do, make sure to sign up for our weekly newsletter which will give you important updates and information about the church, Sunday gatherings, and events. The emails come out once a week on Monday…and you can unsubscribe at any time.

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.

GROW

At Lakeside, we desire to see people grow in their faith to a place where they are fully following Jesus. No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, we have people, tools and resources to help you along the way. One of the best places to begin is with the Spiritual Health Assessment and Spiritual Health Planner.

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.
