We are excited to shine a spotlight on the Lakes Church South Lakeland Campus, a growing hub of faith, connection, and community impact. With their heartfelt worship, inspiring teaching, and a heart for serving, South Campus offers something for everyone—weekly gatherings, small groups, youth and children’s ministries, and outreach programs that share the love of Jesus with the community.
Last month, the South Lakeland Campus joyfully welcomed Dr. Mark Creech as their new campus pastor. Dr. Creech and his wife, Linda K., say that their journey to South Lakeland has been clearly led by God. “God has led Linda and me to the South Lakeland Campus through a journey full of challenges and blessings,” he shared. “It’s been a path marked by both dark valleys and moments of clarity, and through it all, we’ve seen His faithfulness.”

Since stepping into this role, Dr. Creech has been inspired by the people at the campus. “I’ve loved getting to know our community and hearing their stories. The people here have a deep, genuine love for the Lord and for one another. Their hearts for reaching others with the message of Jesus and helping them grow in faith are truly remarkable.”
South Lakeland will continue to thrive under Dr. Creech’s leadership. “We’ve felt embraced with warmth and encouragement,” he says. “There’s an expectation here that God is moving—and we can’t wait to see all the ways He will continue to work through this campus.”
Looking ahead, South Lakeland Campus is poised for growth and impact. With a strong sense of community, a heart for outreach, and faithful leadership, the campus is creating a space where people can encounter God, grow in their faith, and share His love with others.
