Welcome
It is our joy to welcome you to the Lakes Church!
Whether you’re checking out the Lakes Church for the first time, you’re new to church altogether, or you’re just looking for a church family, we just want to say “Welcome” and “We’re glad you’re here.” Our prayer for you is that you’ll find a place that feels like family, that you’ll encounter God, and that after being here, you’ll be filled with more hope than when you first arrived.
We gather weekly in the name of Jesus to rehearse and remember the goodness of God revealed in the face of Jesus and we look forward to seeing you.

Our Story
The Lakes Church launched in the fall of 2017 with a desire to see the culture of Heaven touch down on West Michigan's Lakeshore. Over the past six years, we've witnessed the kindness of Jesus give birth to a local church hungry for God's presence.
​
We believe the Church is not another sub-culture, building, or gathering, but the people through whom God is making all things new (including us). We strive to live out the Gospel in the warp and woof of our daily lives, gathering each weekend to partner with God in his relentless pursuit to put the world to rights. Our prayer is as Jesus prayed, that God’s will would be done on the Lakeshore as it is in Heaven.
Our Team
The leadership of The Lakes Church is committed to providing responsible care, fostering congregational accountability, and offering pastoral and organizational oversight. In pursuit of this, the Board of The Lakes Church drafted and adopted a comprehensive set of organizational bylaws and a leadership framework in 2024 to ensure and sustain the health and integrity of our church community.

Board ('24-'25): Daniel Newton, BJ Bockheim, Jordan Jus, Kyle McMahon, Daniel Boothe
