This is a one-time class, offered on a Sunday morning at 9:15am at the Downtown Lakeland Campus and after Church at 12:15pm for our Auburndale and South Lakeland Campuses. This class is a prerequisite for church membership.  In the class we cover the history, mission and vision of Lakes Church so you know who we are and where we are going.  We’ll cover our foundational doctrinal beliefs so you know what we believe about God, the Bible and humanity.  We’ll explain how you can get connected to a Sunday School class, something we call Connect Groups.  We’ll share how you can be involved in the life of the church through serving and being on-mission.  Most importantly we’ll talk about what it means to be a Christian.  Whether you are a new believer, or have been walking with the Lord for many years, its important that we all understand the Gospel message.  A church at its core is a collection of Christians, those people for whom Christ died, conquered sin and death, and has provided eternal life.  Anyone can attend a church, but membership is about being a part of the body of believers, the Bride of Christ.  We look forward to seeing you in our New Members class!
