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.

Where do my teenagers go?
Our student ministry, Fusion, exists to help students live for God, love the church and lead others to Christ. On Sunday mornings, we meet for Fusion Groups from 9:30-10:45am in The Lodge.

At the end of class, you will be given the opportunity to become a member of Lakewood.

Kids
Wednesday evening programs are designed to equip our children in Bible skills and memory, to provide opportunities to engage in missions, and to explore their God-given talents in music, drama, art and technology. While children are welcome to visit at any time, enrollment in our Wednesday programs is best in August and January.
