Sundays
We invite anyone and everyone to attend our Sunday gatherings as we celebrate God in song, scripture, Lord's Supper, and prayer.
What do I wear?
At Lakewood, you will find a variety of dress styles. There are many people who like to dress up, and there are many who like to be more casual in their dress. You will see nice suits all the way to jeans. So, we would encourage you to dress as you are used to in other churches or whatever makes you comfortable.
