Whether you're building your career, single, engaged, newly married, or just figuring out this stage of young-adult life, this group is a place to meet people who get it. Connect, grow in your faith, and find a place to do life together as we explore Scripture, have real conversations, and encourage each other along the way.
Women's Community
Tuesdays | 6:30-8pm | Sept 15-Nov 10
We weren’t meant to follow Jesus alone. Women especially flourish when we grow together, encourage one another, and sharpen one another. We'll gather together on Tuesday evenings as one large group before moving into smaller table communities for meaningful discussion, prayer, and learning.
You will be encouraged by both God's Word and gain practical tools to:
Deepen your relationship with God
Root yourself in Scripture so you can be steady in any season
Pray with and for others in a way that strengthens both you and them
Build spiritual friendships that last

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.

Every gift tells a story. Every commitment is a step of faith.

On Sunday, November 15, our Lakeside family will come together for an historic day as we make our BEYOND commitments before God in an act of worship and faith.
As you prayerfully consider your three-year commitment, we encourage you to seek God’s guidance in what sacrificial generosity could look like for you and your family. Every person’s journey will look different, but together we have an opportunity to make a lasting impact for generations to come.

Baptism
Baptisms During Each Service: Sun, Nov 22
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.
The practice of baptism illustrates transformation, and each baptism is worthy of a party, so baptisms at Lakeside are a true celebration! Register now! (Baptisms will take place indoors at our 8:15, 9:45, and 11:15am services.)
If your child, ages 8-11, is interested in being baptized, please email Jenjarvis@lakesidechurch.com

Beyond Vision Night
Sun, Sept 13 | (At capacity: Waitlist only)
OR
Fri, Sept 25 |
Vision Night is where the vision for Beyond comes to life. Expect more than an informational meeting and an update. This will be a defining moment in the life of our church and an unforgettable experience for the whole family—kids, students, and adults. This is a night you do not want to miss.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We’ll celebrate what God has already done, look ahead to what He is calling us to accomplish over the next three years, and experience the vision in a way that simply can't be captured on a Sunday morning.
There will be food, fun, and festivities for all ages—from fire pits and bounce houses to ping pong, cornhole, basketball, 9-square, and even more!
Kids and middle schoolers will have their own neon, glow-themed experience that’s meaningful, engaging, and designed just for them. They will learn about the vision and get to take part in this special night, and we’ll all come together to eat, play, and celebrate.
SUN, SEPT 13
4-5pm: Food and Fun
5pm: Doors Open (programming for kids, students, and adults will all be open)

Student Baptism Class
Middle School and High School students interested in baptism are invited to join us on September 9 for a Baptism Class during Midweek!

After the class, students will join their age-specific small group for the remainder of Midweek.
Please register for the Baptism Class in advance. If your student is ready to be baptized, you can also register them for an upcoming baptism here:
