Use Our Suggestions to Find Your Path, Build Community, and Extend Compassion
If you’ve ever searched for a new church home, you know that it takes effort, faith, and God’s guidance to land in the right place. The Lee’s Summit church you choose should align with your beliefs and values. It should be an environment where you can seek refuge, find fellowship, experience joy, and feel connected to God.
After you’ve found your local church, your journey continues as you find ways to enrich your faith in Jesus and more firmly establish your roots.
Read our four recommendations for ways to deepen your experience at church.
Find a Faith Framework at Your Lee’s Summit Church
To help you grow in your faith, your church may provide support beyond its Sunday church service. Ask if your place of worship offers a framework to continue your spiritual journey along with other members of the church community.
At Lakeland Community Church, we use a Stages of Faith framework that guides Christians toward Jesus’ vision for a life of love. Our community finds that a clear path forward is especially helpful for times when we feel stagnant in our spiritual growth.
We also have a framework for children to follow as they learn and grow in their Christian faith. This journey for children begins with baptism, includes milestones throughout their school-age years, and equips them for adulthood as followers of Jesus.
Learn more about the adult ministries and family ministries at our church.
Join a Group at Your Lee’s Summit Church
Although you may find conversation and connection at a church service, joining a group allows you to spend more time getting to know your church community in another setting. A church group allows you to spend more time learning and growing as a follower of Christ.
Your Lee’s Summit church may have a variety of options for group meetings, including:
- Bible or book studies.
- Men’s or women’s groups.
- Parent groups.
At Lakeland, we offer a range of groups that meet our congregation’s various needs and interests as we continue to deepen our relationships with God and each other. Whether you’re interested in a couples’ group, a contemplative walk, or a women’s ministry, we have options for you to explore.
Serve at Your Lee’s Summit Church
Every member of a local church brings talents, gifts, and experiences that make them valuable contributors to the congregation. You have an opportunity to enrich your spiritual life by finding ways to share those talents with your Lee’s Summit church.
Do you have a passion for teaching young people? Volunteer as a group leader during kids’ ministry on Sundays. Musically inclined? Join the band that plays at your Sunday church service. Prefer to stay in the background? Help with maintenance or repairs during the week. There’s always a chance to grow in your faith through service, just as Jesus taught.
Lakeland presents several ways to serve throughout our church, no matter your interests or preferences. View our current opportunities to see if there’s a good fit for you.
Get Involved in Mission Work at Your Lee’s Summit Church
Mission work is another chance to serve — one that extends beyond the four walls of the church and takes you out into the larger community. Driven by a desire for social justice, your Lee’s Summit church likely has specific mission programs to address needs in town and the greater Kansas City area.
Mission work allows you to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, who taught us to love people who are vulnerable or marginalized. Lakeland Community Church has several mission programs to choose from, depending on where your heart for justice and action leads you. Explore these opportunities and join when you feel called.
Discover Everything Lakeland Has to Offer
Lakeland Community Church provides adult ministries for men and women, family ministries, and church groups. You can also serve our church with your special talents or gifts or participate in mission work rooted in justice.
However, you may feel overwhelmed about where to start. Our local church also offers Discover Lakeland sessions, where you can learn more about our Stages of Faith framework and our many ways to align with our mission statement: Belonging and becoming who we are in Jesus.
Our Discover Lakeland sessions take place every Sunday at 9:45 a.m., just before our church services begin. Attend these sessions in any order and come away with ideas of how you can take another step forward to enrich your experience at Lakeland.
Sessions include:
- Your Story and Ours (First Sundays)
- Habits and Core Values (Second Sundays)
- Groups and Serving (Third Sundays)
- Our Path to Growth (Fourth Sundays)
We look forward to seeing you at a Discover Lakeland session, during a church service, or a community event.
