About Us
Welcome to College @ LAC
There are so many ways to be involved with college ministry here at LAC. If you attend campus nearby, there may be a LAC ministry or partnership right on your campus. If you belong to LAC, we have several different gatherings here at the church. If you've gone out of area for college, we want to stay connected with you.
Our ministry has three main parts:
- Fellowships of mission within the colleges and universities around us
- Church-based Gathering where we learn to "love one another" and serve Jesus, his people, and his purposes
- A resource for students who have left the area for school
So, welcome to our slice of Lake Avenue Church's ministry. Look around, and let us know how we can serve together.

Announcements
Sunday
College Class begins January 8, 2012!
We will be hosted by the Crossroads class at the 11:00 hour in room OH205!
Do you know the “Secret of the Kingdom?”The book of Mark records the way the disciples’ lives were forever changed when Jesus revealed it them. In the 1950s, the Byers from LAC developed a way of studying the Bible that has helped students encounter the same life changing secret. 60 years later, we are excited to offer this study of the Gospel of Mark here at Lake Avenue. Come hone your skills in studying the Scripture and, most importantly, encounter Jesus with us through God’s Word

For Parents

In a society with so few rites of passage, the transition to college is a really big moment for your child. Campus ministers have long observed how coming to college can be a fresh start, a blank slate for new students. College Ministries @ LAC is eager to serve you and your child through these formative years.
Please always feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
Stay tuned for helpful resources for parents of college students!
Missions
Join us in praying for LAC Students changing the world!
Student missions are supported (both financially, and in prayer) by people like you! If you are interested in helping students fulfill the great commission through prayer or financial support, please contact me (jeffl@lakeave.org) and I'll put you in touch!
Serve
Interested in College Ministry? We have just a few basic needs:
- On-Campus Connection - are you a faculty, staff, or alum of the nearby campuses we serve? We would love to work with you to do ministry on campus. Knowing Christian faculty, staff, and alumni can be encouraging and empowering for students. Lead a prayer group of students, a Bible Study, or mentor students in the same discipline as you.
- Adopt-a-Student - Providing a home away from home, care packages during finals, meals, etc. can be a great encouragement to out-of-state students who find themselves here at LAC.
- Fuller Internship Opportunities - We presently have opportunities for unpaid internships in the many areas of college ministry here at LAC. There are many different kinds of campuses, diverse student populations, and various responsibilities to explore. An internship with LAC College Ministries satisfies your Field Education requirements at Fuller.

I'm a husband, father of two, grad student at Fuller Seminary, and pastor of college ministries here at LAC. I've been serving college students since I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2001. I spent six exciting years on staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, equipping students to reach the university and transform the world. In 2007, I decided to go for more theological training, so it was off to the Chicago suburbs to get my M.Div. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. My wife, Lisa, continues on staff with InterVarsity and is also studying theology at Fuller.
Values
Our Guiding Values
Authentic Relationships with all the generations of God's unexpected family.
Reconciliation with God, our community, our city, and our world at large.
Ownership by offering opportunities for students and adults to engage in mission together.
Service as a witness to the reality of God's kingdom.
Discipleship by developing intimate relationship with Jesus Christ through the Scriptures, prayer, worship, and shared experiences.
On Campus
Student Leadership prepares each student with the skills to serve the church after graduation.
Bible Study is the steady diet with which students must learn to feed themselves.
Loving the Whole Campus requires us to see the University - its people, institutions, and ideas - without fear or suspicion, but gospel hope.
Evangelism in word and deed is our mandate which we express in creative, faithful, and penetrating ways.
