What We Believe

At Lakeside we.....

Acknowledge that Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ, the Son of the Living God and the Savior of the world. (John 1:1-14; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8)

Believe that salvation is through the grace of God and "not of works lest any should boast." (Ephesians 2:8, 9; Romans 5:8-11)

Recognize the Bible as the only sufficient guide for the Church and for the Christian life. (2 Timothy 3:16; Proverbs 30:5)

Practice the immersion of believers as the Biblical act of induction into the Christian life. (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Romans 10:9-10; 1 Peter 3:21)

Observe the Lord's Supper (Communion) weekly as the central act of Christian worship. (Luke 22:15-19; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)

Encourage our members to develop in their lives the mind and manner of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Philippians 2:1-11; Romans 12:1-5; Luke 22:26)

Regard our people not as the only Christians, but as Christians only, and seek oneness with all believers in matters essential to the Christian faith. (Acts 11:26; 1 Peter 2:17)

Invite into our fellowship all who commit themselves to the Lordship of Christ in terms of His will in the New Testament. (2 Timothy 2:15;2 Timothy 4:2)
