Welcome to Lakewood Presbyterian Church
A Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) in Jacksonville rooted in faith, growing in love, and serving our community.
A Church for the Heart of Jacksonville
At Lakewood Presbyterian Church, we are a Christ-centered community in the Lakewood neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida.
Whether you’ve been part of a church your whole life or are just beginning to explore faith, you are welcome here.
We believe church is more than a Sunday gathering. It’s a place to grow spiritually, build meaningful relationships, and serve others with compassion and joy.

Rooted in the Lakewood Community
Lakewood Presbyterian Church has been part of Jacksonville’s Lakewood neighborhood for generations. Throughout the years, our commitment has remained the same — to faithfully proclaim the gospel, nurture families, and serve our local community.
As a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), we are connected to a larger body of believers committed to thoughtful faith, Reformed theology, and active service in the world.
Meet Our Staff & Leadership
Our pastors, elders, and ministry leaders are here to serve and walk alongside you in faith.
We’d Love to Welcome You
Visiting a new church can feel like a big step. If you’re considering joining us for worship, we would love to help make your first visit comfortable and meaningful.
Stop by the Welcome Table in the Narthex when you arrive, or let us know you’re coming in advance.
We are praying that when you walk through our doors, you will experience the love of Christ and the warmth of Christian fellowship.
