History

Lakeview Christian Church began in 1923 as a Sunday School program designed and run by a group of mothers eager to teach their children about Jesus. As the program grew, they expanded from just a Sunday School and became a church congregation. On January 24, 1926 they had their first official meeting with 40 people present. Although educating children about Christ remained important, they also began to focus on providing for the social and spiritual needs of their community. Lakeview built their first building in 1930, and moved to their current location in 1970.

Over the past 80 years Lakeview has grown and changed, and been served by several ministers, but their purpose has remained the same. Lakeview Christian Church has spent the last eight decades educating people about Christ and caring for it's community, and we will continue to find new ways to accomplish those purposes as we move into the future.
