Sundays, Oct 5-Nov 9: 6-7:30pm

Following Jesus is a beautiful and crazy journey, and we are here to equip you with tools to help you along your journey. Through this Foundations six-week study group, we'll learn about the basics of the Bible and provide a roadmap to help you engage in Scriptures and grow in your faith. We'll also explore tools for building a healthy devotional life and discover fresh ways to engage with Jesus. You will find a safe place here to ask questions while also growing in a community.

Sun, Oct 5: Baptisms During 9 and 10:45am Gatherings
There's no better time than now to take this exciting next step in your faith journey! Baptism is an outward expression of an inner commitment to Jesus. At Lakeside we practice what is known as baptism by immersion—the submerging of a follower of Jesus into water and rising up out of the water—representing our death to sin and our resurrection to new life in Christ. (Learn more about the practice of baptism HERE. )

The practice of baptism illustrates transformation, and each baptism is worthy of a party, so baptisms at Lakeside are a true celebration! Register now!

If your child, ages 8-11, is interested in being baptized, please register for our Baptism Class for Kids on Monday, September 29 from 6-7pm. 

BAPTISM CLASS FOR KIDS: Monday, Sept. 29, 6-7pm
BAPTISMS: Sunday, Oct. 5 , During both gatherings
 
In this class for kids, age 8-11, we will explore baptism in Scripture and learn the meaning and significance of this important decision for followers of Jesus. At the conclusion of the class, children will meet individually with a pastor and have an opportunity to ask questions and/or share their personal decision to get baptized.

Parents do not need to attend class with children. Kids will be sent home with materials and are encouraged to continue discussions at home.

NOTE: If your child is interested in baptism, and can NOT attend the class, please reach out to Pastor Jen at kids@lakesidechurch.com
