- What is Lake Cities all about?
- Community
- We believe that sharing the love of Jesus shouldn’t be confined to the walls of our church. We believe that it should happen in our schools, work places, homes and neighborhoods, as well as our churches.
- We also seek to partner with other local churches in an effort to share the story of Jesus with our surrounding community.
- Children
- Missions
- At Lake Cities, we believe each of us should reach out wherever God has called us to be. In addition to supporting foreign missionaries, we think it is very important to be missionaries in our own communities. As a body of believers, we seek out opportunities to share God’s love by serving those in need.

- What is a typical worship service like?
- Communion
- In an effort to constantly be reminded of the sacrifice of Jesus, we have chosen to take part in communion every Sunday. We invite all followers of Jesus to take part in this special time.
- Worship
- Our worship is more than the songs we sing. We want to bring glory to God in every aspect of our services. Whether singing or praying or watching our children give in a time of offering, we seek to honor God as a family and to draw closer to Him.
- Message
- The message, or sermon, is designed to educate and spiritually challenge each of us. However, we believe that the focus of the message should be to equip and encourage us to take the love of Christ beyond the walls of our church and into our daily lives.
- Shepherd’s Prayer
- We believe that prayer is an incredible gift God has given us as a way to connect with Him both individually and collectively. Each Sunday, our shepherds pray over the specific needs of our family while asking God to bless each of us with opportunities to be Jesus in the upcoming week.
- Offering
- We encourage everyone to make a weekly offering to God, both financially and through serving others.
- The offering is a time when the members of the Lake Cities family can contribute financially to the work that is done both locally and abroad. Our children set the example for us by leading us in this time of giving.
- While this is a weekly act of worship for our church body, it is not an expectation we place on our visitors.
- Kids Praise/Kids Celebration
- Kidz Praise is a high energy, kid friendly, God centered, experience for children 3 years old through the 3rd grade! Kidz Praise occurs during our first and third Sunday Morning services and is an incredible opportunity for kids to offer praise, learn truth, and experience community in an environment specifically targeted to where they are developmentally.
- Every first and third Sundays during services we offer Kidz Celebration. It is a time for our children 3rd grade - 5th grade to meet together for an interactive, creative time of learning scripture from God’s word. Friendships are developed and relationships are built as children encourage, love and support each other in meeting the spiritual goals they have set for themselves.
- How can my family get connected?
- Welcome/Small Groups/Catalyst
- If you are new to Lake Cities or interested in learning more about the family, you are invited to a Welcome luncheon. Semi-monthly, this meal time is a great opportunity to get to know some of the staff and leadership of this church as well as asking questions in an informal setting.
- Catalyst is small group designed specifically for the new members of the Lake Cities family. It is a four-week study that enables new members to transition with current members into the small group setting.
- We encourage our members to become involved in small groups. Held on Sunday nights, our diverse groups will meet you where you are while providing encouragement and accountability in your daily walk with God.
