Building Christ’s Church
By Proclaiming His Word
So That God is Glorified
Our God is directing all history towards a goal: the new creation. The new creation will be a community characterised by intimate and loving relationships. It will be a place where God and his Son Jesus are worshipped forever.

Here at The Lakes we are privileged to work in partnership with Jesus as he builds his church. We want to build a community around God’s word where the Bible is taught faithfully and where we urge each other to respond through lives of trusting obedience, thanks and praise.
