WHAT ARE DISCOVER CLASSES?
We offer classes that help you discover the core beliefs and practices of the Christian life so that no matter where you are spiritually, you can grow.
Each Discover Class is a little different, designed to help you in a specific area of spiritual growth. Some classes are one-time meetings, like Discover Baptism and Discover Membership. Others meet multiple times, including Discover Christianity and Discover Christian Living. And others, like Discover Lakeshore and Discover Your Purpose, are offered online.

Discover Lakeshore will help you understand what it means to be a Christian and discover the vision, values, history, and beliefs that drive Lakeshore.
Discover Lakeshore is offered exclusively online for your convenience. It consists of video sessions with our Senior Pastor, Vince DiPaola, that you can complete at your own pace. Once finished, you'll have the chance to explore becoming a Member at Lakeshore by taking Discover Membership, a brief, in-person meeting with Pastor Vince where you can ask questions and apply to become a Member.

Discover Membership is offered for those who have completed Discover Lakeshore. You'll have a chance to have your questions answered and understand the process of applying to become a Lakeshore Member and what it means to be one.
Discover Membership is offered quarterly in person and consists of an approximately one-hour meeting with our Senior Pastor, Vince DiPaola, where you'll have the chance to ask any questions you have about our church, beliefs, mission, etc, and learn more about what it means to be a Member at Lakeshore. Then, if God leads you, you can formally apply for membership.
In order to take Discover Membership, you need to first complete Discover Lakeshore, a foundational course on our history, values, beliefs, and mission.

Discover Your Purpose will help you discover, deploy, and develop your gifts and personality to devote yourself to making an eternal impact for God and others.

You can start the online portion whenever you'd like. The next in-person session of Discover Your Purpose will take place on Sunday, November 17 at 1:00pm.
