Worship with us
on Sundays

During our Sunday services, we aspire to encounter God in a compelling yet sacred environment that includes Biblical teaching, joyful and reflective music, prayer and, confession.

What about my kids?

Kids are always welcome in our worship services. We also offer kids programming each Sunday. Kidventure is our fun, spiritually-nurturing and safe Kids Ministry program for infants-5th grade. When you arrive, we’ll help you check your kid into the appropriate classroom using our computer kiosks, get to know him or her, and introduce you to the classroom leader (guide).

Parents and kids receive matching identification tags that allow us to note any allergies or special needs your child may have, and to ensure only you can pick up your child after service. Helpful tip: If you’ll be checking into Kidventure for the first time, please arrive 15 minutes before the service starts.

Communion & Baptism

There are two sacraments that we regularly observe in worship – communion and baptism. Sacraments confirm our relationship to Jesus and represent a visible difference between those who belong to the Church and the rest of the world.

You may have heard of communion referred to as “The Lord’s Supper.” When Jesus was living on Earth, He shared a meal of bread and wine with His disciples, breaking the bread and saying, “this is my body and my blood, which is given and shed for you; do this in remembrance of me.” And so we do.

We regularly share in communion as a part of our worship, usually on the first Sunday of every month. Everyone who professes faith in Jesus is welcome to partake in communion. 

Baptism is another sacrament, where someone who has decided to follow Jesus is presented to the church and baptized by water, just as Jesus was during his time on Earth. To find out more about baptism, or if you are interested in being baptized, click the button below to learn more.

We regularly celebrate baptisms in our worship services, and those may take place on the second Sunday of any month.

Worship has seasons?

The liturgical calendar, or calendar of the church, has a few different seasons. In many churches, this calendar informs everything from the scripture that is preached to the colors featured in the worship space. At Lake Forest, we make a point to celebrate the seasons of Lent and Advent.
Lent is a season of reflection that takes place in the 40 days before Easter Sunday each year, and it begins with a service called ‘Ash Wednesday’. Advent is a season of waiting that takes place in the four weeks before Christmas each year.
