growth groups
Believing that Christians are meant to live in community, we help everyone find their place in small groups that meet weekly in homes. We discuss the previous Sunday’s sermon or study a specific topic and spend focused time in prayer together. Our Growth Groups provide a “home base” in the church where everyone can be accountable in our spiritual walk and lift each other up by doing life together.

Starting point
Starting Point is an 8-10-week course that provides a key step in becoming part of the Lakeside family. We ask anyone interested in joining a Growth Group to be a part of Starting Point first. The class carries no obligation. Join us even if you’re just curious to find out what the message of Jesus is all about. Every question is welcome here!

The Bridge Classes
Ephesians 4:12-14 teaches that healthy churches equip every believer with a full knowledge of Jesus Christ so that they can live as mature disciples and resist the false doctrine that surrounds us. The Bridge program offers classes, seminars and conferences to help every Christian understand all of Scripture and apply it to daily living. Topics include how to study the Bible, habits of Christian living and theology. Throughout the year, we offer special sessions on parenting, conflict resolution, marriage and more.
Mens’ ministries
We want Lakeside men to be leaders in their homes, the church, the workplace and the community. We create opportunities and relationships that encourage us to come alongside one another in fellowship and invite friends and family to come see what Jesus is all about.
