Lakeside is a church that is continually being refreshed by the joy of serving common causes within our community. We encourage individuals, family's, small groups and lifestage ministries to embrace any number of causes throughout the community on a regular basis. If you are interested in these causes, contact the Church office immediately!

 

Lewis Memorial Christian Village (LMCV). Join with dozens of Lakesiders who travel to LMCV to serve the needs of our elderly. Volunteers encourage residents, share coversation, sew name tags on clothing, help with crafts and activities, prepare tables before meals, throw parties, and engage in other practical ministry. 

 

Caregivers Ministry. In partnership with St. John's Hospital, Lakesiders are enthusiastically meeting the needs of the Elderly throughout Sangamon county. This highly flexible ministry links volunteers to such practical needs of shut-ins such as grocery shopping, basic home maintenance or repair, being a friendly ear, providing transportation (to appointments, etc) and more.

 

Inner City Mission. Lakesiders are reaching out to the needs of our Inner City! Volunteers can help with cooking, collecting food/clothing, sorting food/clothing, videography, photography, prayer, repairing vehicles, plumbing, electrical, mailings, baby sitting, literacy, painting, remodeling, construction, building furniture (i.e. bunk beds, dressers), computers, internet, Bible studies, and more.

Crown Financial Ministries. With mounting debt and financial distress, we have a number of volunteers ministering in the area of personal finances.

University Illinois Springfield. The Christian Student Fellowship is looking for individuals, families and/or groups to provide meals throughout the semester. Interested parties would commit to providing meals on at least one Friday night for up to 50 college students. Keep in mind that it doesn’t take much to impress college students….cook up a storm, or just order pizzas. Call the church office at 217.529.2513 if you are interested in helping out.
