Progress as of 2/17/2012
Last Sunday morning for the first time we held children and youth classes in our new addition. It was exciting to see all the kids in this new space and also to see the excitement on their faces. One little girl was heard saying, “Mommy, I just love new classrooms!!” Then on Wednesday evening, there were kids, youth and adults using the new space. While there are still a few minor touch ups that need to be completed, the new addition looks great. On Monday, February 13, the renovation of portions of the existing building began with Lakeside volunteers stepping in to start tearing out areas in the southern and eastern corridors of the building. The turnout of volunteers has been great and they have done an excellent job. At this point, with the work they have completed to date, we think we are ahead of schedule and believe we will be done with our part of the work well before our goal of February 27. So if you are into destruction, there’s still time to get in on the fun. But don’t wait around too long or it will all be done!!! Saturday, February 18 is going to be a big day with lots of folks working, including a large number of our youth. So come on out and enjoy the fun!!! Hope to see you there!!! (Feb 17, 2012)

We're excited about the activity you're currently seeing around our facility. God has been bringing families to Lakeside and we're trying to make sure we continue to be able to serve them as they grow in relationship with Jesus and each other. In fact, we are convinced that God has a plan for each person that walks through our doors so we are making room and investing in the future of everyone with our current expansion.

We are expanding and building a children's facility to better equip the next generation of Christ-followers because we know they are our future and that God cares for little people in a big way. We are also knocking down walls and renovating our existing building to accommodate our student ministry's rapid growth as well as clearing and remodeling our lobby to help enhance the building of relationships in a warm and welcome space.

We will be posting construction updates so check back often to keep up on the progress as well as check out some of the renderings of what the finished space will look like.

If you're new to Lakeside or just checking us out, we encourage you to come see for yourself. We're more than a building. We're a family that is committed to becoming more like Jesus and inviting as many people as we can to find out how he has changed us and can do the same for them. We're gonna make sure there is room for you.
