Introduction to Young Adult Ministries with John Secrest

 

How do I Connect?

Worshipping Communities
We gather to celebrate, worship and hear the Word of God at one of our four weekend services:

Saturday Nights at 5 pm in the Chapel
Sunday mornings at 9 and 11 am in the Worship Center
Sunday Night Warehouse at 5 pm in the Chapel

Relationship Building Communities
Our mid-sized groups called Hubs or Classes are central to what it means to be a Community of Concern. These places allow friends and visitors to connect relationally with one another while focusing on discovering faith together and living out our advocacy concerns.

The best way to connect at Lake Avenue Church is to become part of one of these communities. Each Hub or Class is quite different, but all have the same three elements Fellowship, Discipleship and Advocacy. Each group has a meeting schedule that best fits their needs. Check them out and find your place to belong. Below are their times, locations and contact information.
