A Personal Welcome From Rev. Joy Laughridge:
Whether you’re visiting us for the first time or exploring more about who we are, I want you to know that we are so glad you’re here!
At Lakewood, we understand that we are a church family called to bear witness to Christ and his love in everything we say and do. We believe every person is uniquely made in the image of God. We also believe that Jesus’s invitation to learn from him and receive the new and everlasting life he gives is open to all.
Lakewood is a place where people come together to worship, grow, and serve. Whether you are a committed believer, someone seeking a safe place to explore the Christian faith, or simply looking for a warm and welcoming community, you will find a place here.
From vibrant worship to ministries for all ages and outreach in our community, there are many ways to get connected. I invite you to take a next step—join us for worship, serve alongside us, or reach out to learn more.
We look forward to walking this journey of faith with you and discovering together what it means to follow Christ in daily life.
Peace be with you,
Pastor Joy Laughridge
