LakeView Lutheran Church (LVLC) is a community that rejoices in our diversity and shares a common commitment to grow and serve, to celebrate the gift of life and to use our individual gifts to make the world a better place.
We gather to hear the words of scripture, offer our prayers and gifts, and share a meal. Empowered by God's Spirit, we leave to live in sacrificial service to the world. Following Jesus' example, we strive to be an inclusive fellowship, breaking down all those barriers which divide us. We welcome all people regardless of age, race, religion (or no religion at all), income, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
Join the monthly LVLC Book Club! So far, we've discussed James Baldwin's "Fire Next Time," Paul Lynch's Prophet Song," and our next book is "Eat a Peach," a memoir by David Chang. Book Club usually meets on the first Saturday of the month, but check the LVLC calendar to be sure.
Currently we are not meeting at our 835 location. Check out the “Building Updates” page for news and photos of our building project. We anticipate returning in the fall of 2025. Until then, see our calendar to join us for upcoming events, check out our weekly newsletter. and listen to our podcast!

We know that we are not called together for ourselves alone but for offering to others and the world the peace that God has given to us. We are committed to sharing this gifts through ministries that promote justice and mercy, in acts of kindness and prophetic witness.

We know that strangers are a gift to us as a congregation. We welcome newcomers knowing that we will never be all we can be without continually welcoming new people and new ideas.
Ministry is a job for all people, not just professionals. We encourage all Christians to take an active part in ministry both in and outside the church. We take seriously the responsibility to steward all the gifts and resources entrusted to our care.
