The FAQ
In a nutshell, the top ten questions we receive. We think....
1. What should I wear to church?
Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. Some people get dressed up to come to church and others wear their jeans.
2. What happens during the service?
The programming of our services changes from week to week, but in general we have music (both performance & participatory), video, welcome/announcements and a biblical message. Often we have other creative or spiritual elements such as Communion or Baptisms.
3. Do I have to sing or can I just listen?
You are free to do whatever feels comfortable for you – you can stand or stay seated, sing along with the words on the screen or just listen to the music team.
4. What programming is available for children?
Power Hour is our children’s programming for kids from birth to grade 5. This awesome ministry is led by volunteers who are screened, trained and passionate about teaching children. Groups are divided by age - Nursery for birth-23 months, Preschool for 2-4 year olds and age-specific groups for children in Kindergarten –grade 5. All programs take place during the weekend services.
5. Can my child stay with me during the service?
We know your kids would have fun in Power Hour (see question 4), but if you would prefer for your child to remain with you, we ask that you sit at the end of an aisle on the left hand side of the Auditorium near one of the doors, should you need to leave during the service.
6. If my friend/spouse/partner has a different belief, can he/she still come?
Yes, everyone is welcome at Lakeview Church. Invite family members, friends, your neighbours, or just come by yourself and meet some new people.
7. What does your church believe?
At Lakeview Church, our mission is to reach out to seeking friends as we become committed, caring followers of Jesus Christ. Our vision is to become an authentic community of Christ-followers.
8. Communion? Can anyone take it? What do you have to know?
Communion is the sharing of bread and wine (grape juice) as a remembrance of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for our sins. All those who follow Jesus Christ and are walking with Him are welcome to take part in Communion.
9. Are there any activities that go on during the week?
There are many activities that take place at Lakeview Church during the week. The easiest way to find what you’re looking for on our website is to type in the key word under Search. If you’re not sure what a particular program or ministry is called, you can email us at office@lakeviewchurch.com, or just call the church at 306-374-6556.
10. Should I feel obligated to give something when the offering is taken?
There are different ways we can give to God including our time, talents, and money. Here at Lakeview we rely entirely on donations to pay our bills, ministry costs, and staffing needs. It’s only through the generosity of others that we can continue doing what we believe God is asking us to do. If you are planning on just visiting our church please don’t feel obligated to give money. If you choose to make Lakeview Church a place you regularly attend, please consider how you might be able to share your time or finances. As to how much to give, we believe that is an individual decision. If you have questions about giving money to the church and how those funds are used, we would be happy to talk with you.
