Church School

Church School classes are offered on Sunday to children from age three through adult. Church School classes for ages three through grade six meet on the first and second floor of the educational wing.

Youth

We at Lakeside Presbyterian Church are a community of believers dedicated to Christian fellowship for all ages. We encourage and support junior and senior high youth in their search for identity as they listen to Christ's call to discipleship, community, and service.

Classes are held for Junior High, grades 7-8, and Senior High, grades 9-12.

Many Senior High youth also attend our Mission Trips, which have included trips to Michigan, North Carolina, and Colorado in recent years.

See the Youth page for more information

Our Choirs

Music is an important part of the life and work of Lakeside Presbyterian Church. Through music, we are able to glorify and serve God by giving our gifts back to God. Lakeside has a distinguished tradition of the highest quality music. Church membership is not a requirement for participation and often regular attendees sing in our choirs before becoming members. Students from Buena Vista University are especially encouraged to join in, either as participants or as leaders.

Time Out

This group of women of the church joins in faith, fellowship, Bible study and Christian service to our church, community and world. The group meets at 7:00 pm on the 4th Monday of the month from September through May, and provides a babysitter to enable women with young children to attend.
