In Lakewood, For Lakewood
Lakewood Fellowship exists to declare and demonstrate the gospel of Jesus in the neighborhoods of the Lakewood area of Dallas.
We seek to embody the concept of the local neighborhood church that lives, plays, worships and serves in the area. We love the lake, the trails, the eclectic neighborhoods and the people in the Lakewood area. In short, we are a local church in Lakewood, For Lakewood. We meet Sundays at 10am at The White Rock YMCA. Read more about what to expect on Sunday here.
Our Mission
LAKEWOOD FELLOWSHIP EXISTS TO WORSHIP GOD, CULTIVATE COMMUNITY, AND LIVE ON MISSION.
WE WANT TO DECLARE AND DEMONSTRATE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS THROUGH LIVES OF WORSHIP, COMMUNITY AND MISSION IN THE LAKEWOOD AREA. EVERYTHING WE DO IS DRIVEN BY THESE THREE CORE VALUES: WORSHIP, COMMUNITY AND MISSION.
WORSHIP
We desire our lives to be characterized by gospel-centered worship toward God. Worship is our whole-life response to God’s goodness with adoration and devotion. We worship gathered on Sunday mornings as we sing, learn, encourage one another and take communion. We worship scattered throughout the week through lives of whole-hearted devotion to God and His mission for us.
COMMUNITY
We believe that the Christian life is best lived with each other in smaller communities to provide discipleship through scripture, vulnerable relationships, prayer and a consistent reminder of the gospel. We were not meant to follow Jesus alone and we all need each other. We value discipleship through relationships and encourage all of our church to be involved in these kinds of communities. Our ministries and groups exist for this purpose.
MISSION
We are called to declare and demonstrate the gospel of Jesus locally, and we invite everyone at LWF to meet the needs of those around them by sharing the gospel and helping it to flourish for the glory of God. We have a number of Local partnerships where we can tangibly declare and demonstrate the gospel; loving the people of Lakewood in meaningful ways. Learn more about our Outreach relationships here.
Our Beliefs
We are a congregation that ascribes to the quote commonly attributed to Saint Augustine; "In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things charity." That means that we recognize freedom for different views on doctrinal matters that we consider non-essential, but strive for unity on the essential matters of the Christian faith, always proceeding in love whether in agreement or disagreement with each other. Our doctrinal statement explains the points that we consider essential and central to our faith.
