What type of church denomination are you?
Posted on 29. Jan, 2010 by admin in FAQs, What we believe
The Lakes is an independent church and we are not formally aligned to any particular denomination. We have people from all kinds of denominational backgrounds: Baptist, Anglican, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Catholic, Church of Christ.
The Lakes is part of a network of independent church called the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC). Our Senior Pastor, David Sheath, is the Secretary of this fellowship of churches.
Every month or so we have a supper for newcomers to come and meet with our Senior Pastor, to hear about The Lakes, and to have opportunity to ask any questions. If you would like to attend a newcomers supper speak to one of the members of our staff team or contact the church office.
As an independent church we are registered with the Dept of Fair Trading as an association. This means we need to abide by their rules- have a constitution, registered membership, Annual General Meeting, and audited financial statements etc.
