Following Jesus’ Great Commission to spread the Good News locally and to all nations, Lakeside strives for a well-rounded missions program that lets our church members actively partner with missions work at home and abroad.
The Lord has opened doors for us in North America, South America, Europe and Africa, and we constantly seek to increase our impact by partnering with additional missionaries around the world.
Mission Trips
We offer trips for adults and teens, with a focus on projects guided by local ministry partners who ensure that we are enhancing their ministry in a meaningful way.
Our high school students regularly help put on a summer camp for kids from Montana’s Blackfeet Nation.
Over the Memorial Day weekend, Lakeside families travel to South Dakota’s Cheyenne River Reservation to help a local church put on the Jesus Festival, where we share the gospel, embody Christ’s servant attitude by washing feet and provide shoes to kids. The team also helps with repairs and construction projects at the church.
Lakeside work teams often spend a week repairing buildings, building houses and providing other services to a variety of ministries in the United States.
