Faith at Lakeside
Faith is one of the four pillars upon which Lakeside is built. The mission statement states that Lakeside exists "To enrich the quality of life for all people, to foster traditional Christian values and nurture relationships through opportunities for renewal and growth, spiritual, intellectual, cultural and physical, while preserving the Lakeside heritage." While Lakeside's Christian focus is prevalent throughout the community, people of all faiths are welcome.
The Chaplain of the Week program is open to our guests as well as our neighbors. These daily lectures stimulate the heart and mind, while encouraging insight into one's own self. The Chaplains are selected for their outstanding communication skills and motivational ideas. Chaplain's Hour is held at Orchestra Hall Monday-Friday during the Chautauqua season at 9:15 am for inspiring messages.
