Hi there. Graham here, Lead Pastor of LakeView Church.
Thanks for chasing down our website and checking us out! There’s a lot of good stuff here which should give you a good feel for who we are and what we’re about. Chances are, most of the info you’re looking for will be somewhere on the site. If it’s not, let us know!
But there’s no substitute for experiencing a church live to really get a sense of its DNA. And so, if you haven’t already been able to come to a service, we’d love to have you join us. We have a wide variety of folks who are at very different places in their spiritual journey. So, no matter where you’re at, you’re most welcome any time. And there’s no need to worry about any special clothes or rituals. We are pretty relaxed so you can come in jeans—or be more dressed up if you like.
Bottom line for us is that we believe a relationship with God is the most significant thing in life. Our mission is: leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. All that we do centers around that in some way. So in our two services on Sunday morning we sing mainly contemporary praise songs (and occasional hymns) with a full band, or an acoustic set. Sometimes we use drama or video. And we spend focused time in God’s Word learning what he’s saying to us today. If you want to get a sampling, or see what we’ve been exploring lately, just click on Media, from the home page, then Message Archive, or just listen to the most recent message on the Media page.
If you have kids, we’ve got some cool age-appropriate environments for them as well. Again, you’ll find most of the information somewhere on the site. But why not just come along and join us some Sunday morning and someone from Guest Services straight in front of the main doors can answer any questions you might have.
We have a bunch of different ways to connect and grow spiritually at LakeView, besides Sunday services. But let me just mention a few in particular which would be great for you to check out if you’re new to LakeView. You can click on the link for more information, or to sign up:
· Discovering LakeView: a relaxed dessert evening with me, my wife and Pastor Jed, and a great place to get your questions answered.
· Starting Point: a small group of people who want to explore how their story fits into God’s story.
· LifeGroup: a small group of people who gather to talk about the previous Sunday’s sermon, and to hang out together.
Hope we get to enjoy your company soon!
Warmly,
Graham Blaikie
Lead Pastor
