Announcing...

The Wright Commons

"A Gathering Place"


We are pleased to announce the creation of The Wright Commons, “A Gathering Place” for our Lakeside family, that will honor the ministry of Dr. Jody C. Wright, our Senior Minister from 1998 to 2024. The Wright Commons will be located on the back lawn of our church property outside Robbins Hall and overlooking City Lake. The idea was conceived and funded by several of our generous members and was unanimously approved by the Diaconate and Board of Finance. 


The Commons will include benches and picnic tables, enhanced landscaping and improved garbage enclosure, leaving plenty of room for our children and youth to play and use for other outdoor events. We hope this transformed area will be an inviting extension of our fellowship space and provide a beautiful “gathering place” for our church family for generations to come.


While the cost of the improvements has been fully funded, if you would like to contribute to the future upkeep, please send your contribution to the church office, marked for “The Wright Commons.” The dedication will be held during the luncheon on the 70th Anniversary.

You're Invited to Give!

The New Lakeside LEgacy Fund

As part of our 70th Anniversary Celebrations, we invite you to give to our new Lakeside Legacy Fund!


This fund, created in coordination with our Lakeside ministerial staff and diaconate, with approval from the Board of Finance and Personnel Committee, will provide the funds to hire a part-time children’s minister to serve the children of Lakeside, birth through fifth grade, for at least the next three years, as we begin a new program for children to strengthen future generations’ spiritual growth through the expansion of ministries to children and their parents.


The church has re-allocated some existing funds to seed the Lakeside Legacy Fund, but we will need your help to raise the needed amount to cover the next three years of children’s ministry leadership at Lakeside. If you’d like to know more about the position or fund, please don’t hesitate to reach out to one of our ministers or lay leadership.
