About Us:

The Lakeside church of Christ is a church family bound together by a common love for, and faith in, Jesus Christ. We are a simple New Testament church, pointing the way to the God of the Bible, and Jesus Christ as His Divine Son. We welcome anyone who would reach out to God for meaningful living, worship, and Christian service.

Our approach:

We read in the Book of Acts about the growth of the first-century church as the apostles and other devoted disciples worked to establish congregations in cities throughout Palestine and other regions around the Mediterranean.

Each of these churches began in the same way: the people heard the gospel message and responded to it in faithful obedience.

These congregations sought to follow God's plan for their salvation, work, and worship. When they fell short of this goal, God inspired Paul or others to visit or write the churches to correct any problem and to encourage faithfulness. These letters make up the rest of the New Testament after the Gospels and Acts.

It is our desire to follow the example recorded in Acts of these churches in their faithfully following God's revealed plan. Where they did not follow faithfully, we may learn from their mistakes as explained and corrected in the epistles (letters).

In short, we seek to be a church following the pattern for Christianity God has laid down in the New Testament.

Mission statements.

Much is made today about creating mission statements to focus, organize, and/or mobilize a congregation. However, God has already given His followers mission statements for the church as a whole to be carried out by individual members, and for each individual as he or she seeks, builds, and maintains a personal relationship with God in Christ.
