Meet the Lakeside

Church staff


Lakeside is a church that values relationships.  We have a tradition of consistency in pastoral leadership which allow us to develop meaningful and lasting relationships in our congregation and within the Rocky Mount community.  Our ministry team works to share Lakeside's vision of worship and ministry and empower our church family to live out their faith outside the walls of the church.  Here's your chance to get to know us a little better.
