WHAT WE VALUE AT LAKESHORE
Every church has values that guide it, but sometimes they are not openly expressed or even defined. We have defined our values from the very beginning of our church, and we’re guided by these values and lean on them regularly in making the decisions we make for how we operate. Our values are always reflected in our actions. Here are the nine key values that reflect our heart and passion for God, for people like you, and for how we do what we do.
Loving People
We believe that you really matter to God, and that you really matter to us. (Luke 19:10)
All for God
We do all that we do ultimately for an audience of One. (1 Corinthians 10:31)
Keep Jesus First
We know only three things will last: God, people, and the Bible. The rest is temporary. (Ephesians 4:13-15)
Everyone A Minister
We are all designed by God and equipped by the church for a unique ministry. (Ephesians 4:11-12)
Small Groups
We know Small Groups make a big impact through community, care, and changed lives. (Acts 2:42-47)
Helping Others
We will never stop trusting God for more disciples and better disciples worldwide. (Matthew 28:19-20)
Outreach Oriented
We will do anything short of sin to help people process and embrace the Good News. (Colossians 4:2-6, Luke 17:11-19)
Relevant Services
We provide Sunday services that are both culturally relevant and biblically grounded. (John 4:1-26)
Excellence
We give our very best for God because He deserves our best time, talent, and treasure. (Genesis 1:31a, Matthew 6:33)
