Many of us can feel a little frightened coming into a new
church. We would like you to feel right at home when you
come to vist us. Here are 7 reasons why you should visit.
1. It's a
Fresh Start
Many of us wish we had the opportunity to make a fresh
start -- to discover a place where we are accepted, can
develop and grow. Perhaps you went to church in the past
and have gotten out of the habit. If it's time for you to
jump back in, Lakes Christian Church is ready to help.
2.
Warmth
We desire to love and respect each other. We believe the
church should be a shelter in the storms of life, a place
of peace and harmony.
3.
Conviction
We hold certain truths to be non-negotiable -- truths that
have been held precious by genuine Christians through the
ages. We are unashamed to declare our fidelity to the Word.
At the same time we understand it's impossible to agree on
all points of peripheral doctrine. In these areas we
maintain that we do not have to be twins to be brothers.
4. We're
Contemporary
To reach today's generation, words and music must be
understood. We have an atmosphere in which you will feel
free to invite your friends. The casual informality of our
services provide enough structure to ensure order, but with
a freedom that helps people feel welcome.
5.
Commitment
We are committed to several things about which we feel
strongly. We care about our community and want to reach
people for Christ. We also emphasize fellowship. We take
every opportunity to spend time together. Our church family
is friendly and eager to get to know you.
6. We're
People Oriented
Our church wants to serve! The church is not an
organisational hierarchy. It is not a building or a place,
the church is people! Some words that describe our church:
friendly, warm, open, accessible, and loving. It is our
desire to raise a congregation whose young people honor the
Lord and their parents. Years from now, children cared for
in our kid's church will probably not remember what they
were taught there. They will remember, however, if it was a
positive experience. Our kid's church and youth leaders are
committed to making sure they do!
7.
Dynamic
We're alive, excited and ready for your visit! We believe
that you will be blessed by our music, instructed in the
Word, and loved into our fellowship. We're looking forward
to meeting you.
