Our Worship:

   Worship is the center of our life together at LABC.  Our worship life reflects our diversity, with a tradition of strong preaching and many kinds of music.  Our main service is in English but often includes translations of one or two elements into Karen, Chin, Burmese, and sometimes Spanish.  Worship leadership is provided by our pastors, members of the congregation of different ages, and our many musicians.  We also have services in the Karen and Chin languages following our worship in English. 

Open Communion:  

   Our Guiding Vision states that "Christ welcomes all to the communion table."  In His spirit, we practice open communion, meaning that anyone who is seeking Christ’s spirit is invited to receive communion. Communion generally takes place on the first Sunday of each month and on other special occasions. 

Baptism:

   Lake Avenue practices Believers’ Baptism, a symbolic act showing the beginning of a new life in Christ. We do NOT require that new mebers be rebaptized however!

To get a good sense of what our worship life is like, it’s wise to visit us several times because it can vary so much from week to week.
