Our Sanctuary
Yes, you're in the right place.
When you walk into the sanctuary at Lake Country Christian Church, you'll notice it doesn't have pews or even rows of chairs. Instead, we have tables set up. There are two main reasons for this: first, during the teaching time there will be group discussions held at the tables. We refer to this as "table talk" -- more on that in a minute. Second, we have lunch together after our service. It's free and provided by the church (but if you'd like to help out with a donation, there's a blue coffee container for that!)
You can find more information about the church in the wooden boxes on each table.
So... what's "table talk"?
We bring fellowship and community into the service by having some group table discussion during the sermon. Pastor Jamison will put a few questions up on the screen (for example, which character would you choose to be? What do you want to be remembered for? What do you think the purpose of prayer is? What would you say to someone who asked you why you go to church?) and we take a few minutes to talk it over with the people at our table before bringing it back to the large group. There is no requirement to share! You can listen or share as you like.

At Lake Country Christian Church we want you to feel welcome and confident in making a visit. Some people might prefer to slip in and just experience our service. Others might like the opportunity to meet a church member, sit with them during the service, and start making connections.
If you are interested in meeting up with a church member for our service, contact us at lakecountrychristianchurch@gmail.com, subject line "Schedule a Visit." We look forward to meeting you in fellowship!
What to Expect
Here's what you can expect during our worship service:
We will begin with about 15 minutes of singing (3 songs). Feel free to sit, stand, sing, dance or just listen as we worship the Lord with heart, mind, soul and strength (Luke 10:27). If you don't know the songs, don't worry — the lyrics will be on a screen behind the worship team.
During worship time we will also have a time of prayer where you can share any request and receive prayer.
Next we take communion. This happens every Sunday and it is a time for those who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior to remember, or memorialize, his death and resurrection. If you don't know Jesus or are still deciding whether or not to trust him with your life, use this time to reflect and pray instead of taking the wafer and juice.
We do not formally collect an offering from church members. However, if you feel called to give back financially, you can put your offering in the wooden box in the center of each table. If you are a visitor, do not feel obligated to contribute!
The final portion of our service is teaching from the Word of God, the Bible, and includes table talk, a time to share with those at your table. The sermon is usually about 60 minutes.
The whole service usually lasts about 1 hour and 45 minutes. After a closing prayer, please enjoy fellowship after the service and lunch every other week (except fifth Sundays).
