About Us
“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord
require of you?
To act justly, and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
— Micah 6:8
What We Believe
We are members of the United Methodist denomination, which was founded as a movement of spiritual renewal by John Wesley, a priest in the Church of England in the 1700s. Following the American Revolution, Methodists were one of the first Christian denominations to organize in America.
United Methodists are mainstream Christians who believe in the authority of Scripture, in the divinity and saving work of Jesus Christ, and in the power of the Holy Spirit. We practice two sacraments, Baptism and Holy Communion. We baptize people of all ages including infants because we believe God’s saving grace is available to all persons and is at work in the lives of people at every age. We believe that inner faith is confirmed by outward works and that God created the Church to proclaim and follow Christ, our Lord.
Church History
The Lakeside family has been a part of the Lakeside community since the 1940’s. The church was first established by Christ followers who moved into this community during that time. The congregation has steadily grown over the years and we have been actively involved in worshipping and serving since our beginning.
We are proud to be part of such a thriving community and we welcome the opportunity to get to know our neighbors.
