Interested in Joining a Small Group?
Rooted
Rooted is a transformational, 10-week, life-changing small group experience meant to connect you to God, to the church, and to your purpose, helping you move your knowledge of God to true experiences with him.
Registration for the fall session of Rooted is now closed, but check back in January to register for our next session! Email office@lakesidechurch.com with any questions.
Community Groups
Community Groups bring people together as they journey through similar stages of life or connect through like interests. Through our Community Groups, you’ll have the opportunity to connect relationally and grow spiritually as you experience life in community.
WOMEN’S group
We weren’t meant to follow Jesus alone! Women especially flourish when we grow together, encourage one another, and sharpen one another. Join us this fall for our Womens Community where you’ll not only connect with other women but also be equipped for the everyday, strengthened for the week ahead, and reminded that God is at work in you and through you! (Tuesdays, thru Nov 11, 6:30-8pm)
MEN’S group
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 6-8pm, starting October 23, in the Lobby Lounge. It’s an open group—no registration needed, and you can join in at any time.
MOM’S group
Join other moms for connection, prayer, inspring messages, meaningful conversations, and fun activities. This season we’re exploring how to trade control for the truth and peace of God. Come laugh, learn, and grow in faith—together. (Tuesdays thru Nov 4, 9:30-11:30am. Join at any time. Childcare available.)

The Game Group is a great way to connect with others and simply have fun. Bring your favorite board games, some snacks to share, and a friend for a fun Saturday afternoon at church!
HIKING GROUP
Do you like to get out and hit the trail? We are blessed to have some of the world’s best scenery and hiking trails in the High Sierra practically in our backyard. Join the Hiking Group and keep up to date on our upcoming hikes. We try to schedule a quarterly day hike, generally in the 10 – 15 mile range with some of the usual elevation ups and down. Join the group to be notified about upcoming hikes.
Groups for Students and Kids
Every third Thursday of the month, 4th and 5th graders gather for an evening packed with fun games, activities, and yummy food! Kids will build friendships, connect with leaders, and dive into relevant conversations about life and faith that will encourage them to live boldly as followers of Jesus. It’s the perfect place to invite friends from school, sports, or the neighborhood to join in on the fun!

wednesdays, 6:30-8pm
Students, 6th-12th grade, are invited to join us on Wednesday nights to meet in a small group, grow in faith, build real friendships, and connect with trusted adult leaders who care.
Each month will feature a rhythm of high-energy worship nights, engaging Bible-centered discussions, fun themed hangouts, and intentional space to go deeper in community. Whether your student is new or has been around for years, this is the place to belong and grow.
