1. How do I find where the church meets?

Lakeside meets at Skyline West Prep School located at 17667 N. 91st Ave in Peoria, on the east side of 91st Avenue, just north of Bell Road.  Skyline is just one mile from Loop 101 (Exit 14, Bell Road).  Click here for a map and directions.

2. What is there for my kids?

Starting with a clean nursery for children age two and younger, there is something special for every age child. For children three years old to sixth grade there are Bible-centered classes on Sundays at 9:30am. and CactusKids on Wednesdays from 6:50-8:10pm. During the Sunday Worship Service at 10:30am. there is a children's church with Bible lessons, songs, and games geared to help them learn the Bible better.

3. What are the services like?

Sunday mornings at 9:30am. you can participate in a Bible study LifeGroup.  We have a LifeGroup for every age group.  Then at 10:30am. is a Worship Service in which you can participate in encouraging and uplifting music followed by a helpful and challenging Bible message. This service is about an hour and fifteen minutes in length. At 5:30pm. is our Family Bible Hour. Again, in this service there will be another helpful and challenging Bible message. On Wednesdays at 7:00pm. we have prayer and the pastor leads a Bible study verse-by-verse through a book of the Bible. There is also a Bible study for teenagers and a club for children on Wednesdays. 

4. Do I have to wear a suit and tie? 

No, there isn't a dress code to attend our church services.  We are more concerned with your needs than we are with what you are wearing.  You will see some people more dressed up, and some people will be dressed more casually. Our main goal is that you feel welcome and comfortable on your visit here at Lakeside Baptist.

5. Do I have to give money to attend?

No. We do collect an offering at our services.  However, giving is an act of worship for our regular attendees who call Lakeside their home.  We want our service to be a gift to you. We hope you will find a warm family spirit, truth from God's Word, and a place where you can grow in God's grace.  So, don't feel any obligation to participate in the offering as a guest.
