Our attendance numbers year over year, as well as our 10-week average, are continuing to increase; we are seeing more and more people attending church. We are choosing to make a change before the need for room becomes great- this way visitors are not coming to a crowded church, feel lost or disconnected, or think we don't have space for them. We want them here, and we are making room to prove it. 

The desire is to make this a permanent change. We are committing to one year of this schedule, and we can reevaluate if necessary. 

No. All 3 services will be the same in style and length- the same type of worship and feel as always, with each service lasting about one hour. 

Yes, there will be kids classes at all 3 services, newborn through 5th grade. However, the age groupings of kids may not look the same at all services. 

Kids classes will be open for drop-off 10 minutes before the start of each service (8:20, 9:50, 11:20). Kids need to be picked up right after service so teachers have time to prepare the classroom before the next service starts.

Yes! There are classes available during Midweek for kids newborn through 5th grade.

Research shows that students who become an active part of the larger church during middle and high school are more likely to carry their faith into adulthood. That’s why we want Sundays to be an intergenerational experience where students worship, learn, and grow alongside the rest of the church. Our goal is to help them build a faith that lasts.

Students can serve on many of our volunteer teams! First Timothy 4:12 reminds us that being young doesn’t keep someone from making an impact. We have meaningful opportunities for both middle and high school students to use their gifts and be part of what God is doing at Lakeshore.

Stop by the Next Steps area after service! One of our volunteers would be happy to tell you more about Lakeshore Students and connect you with our Student Pastor. You can also visit lakeshorechurch.org/students for everything you need to know.

Our Sunday messages cover topics that are relevant to people in every stage of life. We also believe an important part of helping students grow in their faith is giving them opportunities to engage with God’s Word alongside adults.

Yes. The Prayer Team will still be available for prayer in between services. 

Discover Classes will be held after 3rd service on their scheduled dates; lunch will be served at 12:45 with classes beginning at 1pm. 

Communion will become part of the regular worship service on specific weeks. 

The café will be open after each service. 

Some scheduled Wednesday night groups will change depending on their schedule and location- make sure to check with the small group leader for details about each group.

Baptisms will continue to happen in service; Discover Baptism class will take place on the 2nd Sunday of the month during 2nd service, at 10am.

Our Parking Team is working on making a new parking pattern for all our guests and attendees to be able to get into and out of the lot smoothly. We'll be communicating more info at the end of the Summer.
