Adult Ministry That Nurtures Your Faith Journey

Build Your Christian Community Through Contemplative Practices and More

A significant part of a rich spiritual life is your discovery of a community that shares your challenges and successes, while you individually journey inward to deepen your relationship with God. As you progress through our Stages of Faith framework for spiritual growth, we offer specific men’s and women’s ministries to experience contemplative retreats, enjoy each other’s company, and support each other in living lives as Christians.

 

Stages of Faith

Lakeland Community Church members seek out retreats to engage in contemplative practices, such as silence, solitude, and fasting. For more information on retreats, including men’s church retreats and women’s church retreats, contact Founding Pastor Dan Wilburn for retreats open to all. Contact Laurie Wilburn for more information on women’s retreats.

A Renewed Faith

Simply Being in Love with God and Others

Discover Lakeland During Four Sunday Sessions

Discover Lakeland is an opportunity to learn about Lakeland’s mission and history, our framework for a Christian faith journey, and the many ways to get involved in our church. You’ll get to share your story, we’ll tell you ours, and we’ll talk about all the opportunities available to you as a member of our church, including baptism, Family Ministry, retreats, church classes, and much more.

Find belonging at Lakeland

Sometimes called “life groups,” our church’s small groups are a vital part of how our members grow their connection to others and their personal relationship with Jesus. We invite you to see how you can participate in God’s work by joining a group.

Using Your Gifts and Talents to Serve God and Others

​As we pass through the discovery and discipleship stages of our faith, we begin looking for ways to “show our faith by our works” at a deeper level. We serve. We all have gifts that can embody Jesus’s message of radical love and service. Whether you’re artistically talented, a “people person,” or your passion is educating children or adults, Lakeland Community Church has an opportunity for you.

Why We Practice a Rhythm of Retreats

As part of Lakeland Community’s contemplative practice, we help you create a rhythm of life that deepens and grows a more consistent connection to God. We do this by providing a safe environment to connect with God and experience transformation through the spiritual discipline of solitude and silence.
