Hiking Group
If you're in excellent shape and love a great hike with a beautiful view, join us for our hike to the top of Yosemite Falls.
HIKE: The hike is about 3.5 miles up and down (7 miles round trip) with about 3,000’ of vertical. The trail starts climbing from the first step. Click HERE for a trail description.
LOGISTICS: To avoid some of the summer weekend crowds, we've planned a weekday hike on Wednesday, July 29. We’ll meet in the front Lakeside parking lot at 5am and carpool together. If all goes as planned, we’ll be back to Folsom by 7pm-ish.
Sign Up:

Anxiety & Depression Support Group
Weekly: Thursdays, 6:30-8:30pm
Anxiety and depression can be both physically and emotionally debilitating and rob you of joy. This support group will provide you with valuable support and practical tools to help reduce stress, depression, and anxiety through biblical and neuroscience insights.
Men's Group
Weekly: Thursdays, 6:30-8pm, Room 216
Following Jesus was never meant to be done alone, but for men there can be a natural habit of going at it alone. We want to change that! Through building connection with other guys, studying Scripture, having meaningful conversations, and throwing in some laughter, we can journey together toward Jesus. Join us on Thursdays from 6:30-8pm in the Room 216. It’s an open group—no registration needed, and you can join in at any time.

There's no better time than now to take this exciting next step in your faith journey! We're excited to take part in Baptize the World on Pentecost Sunday, May 24—joining churches around the globe in a united celebration of baptism.

(To learn more about the practice of baptism, click 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!

CASA Info Meeting + Lunch
Join us for a one-hour, no-pressure opportunity to learn more about how we can care for vulnerable kids and families in our community.

During this time, you’ll hear what CASA is, how it impacts foster youth, and simple ways you can be involved—whether that’s becoming a CASA or supporting the foster care community in other meaningful ways.
What is a CASA?
A CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) is a trained volunteer who is appointed by a judge to advocate for a child in foster care. CASAs get to know the child, speak into their needs, and help ensure they are seen, heard, and supported as decisions are being made about their future.
This is a great next step if you’ve been curious about foster care or want to better understand how to make a difference locally. There’s no expectation to commit—just come, learn, and explore.
