In addition to our serve teams listed above, we also have opportunities for service beyond the walls of Lake Forest Church. We call this ‘missio dei,’ which means the ‘mission of God.’ We have missions opportunities right here in the Lake Norman area, regionally throughout the southeast, and internationally. You might also feel led to serve by leading in group life – which is what we call our small groups. We believe that none of us was meant to do life alone and that the best spiritual and personal growth happens in small community groups, and these groups require genuine, dedicated people to lead them.
