WELCOME TO LAKE AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH! 

 We hope that as you glance through the information about our church you will be intrigued and that you will pick up a sense of the warm welcome that awaits you in this congregation. 

 OUR GUIDING VISION

Jesus Christ welcomes all to the Communion Table.  The Table expresses God's inclusive love, acceptance, and hope.  It shapes our life together.  From the Table the Holy Spirit moves us out through the church doors to proclaim the Gospel by word and deed.  Therefore, we declare that we are:

 CLAIMED BY CHRIST:  We are God's own and are not here by chance.  We open ourselves to God's light and love.  We look to the Bible for guidance.  Out of gratitude to God, we respond to Christ's call to discipleship.

 COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY:  As members of Christ's Body, we affirm one another as family.  We gather for worship, nurture, healing, and spiritual growth.  We build an open community through respectful, caring relationships.  With our denominational sisters and brothers, we uphold Baptist principles, including soul freedom and local church autonomy.  We encourage and strengthen our ecumenical and interfaith ties. 

 COMPELLED TO SERVE:  We respond to Christ's call to discipleship sharing our gifts in acts of service.  We embody the spirit of the Gospel in our daily lives.  We reach out as a church to our neighborhood, our city, and beyond.  We go into the world to do justice, make peace, and share God's love.
