2016 Preachers of the Week Announced
Posted on August 20, 2015
Lakeside is part of the Chautauqua Movement, which flourished during the 19th and 20th centuries.
It is considered to be one of the greatest revival movements in American history, dedicated to Christian values and cultural excellence, nurturing mind, body and spirit.
Lakeside’s programming is built upon the four pillars of the Chautauqua Movement: religion, education, cultural arts and recreation.
The religion pillar is administered by Lakeside Chautauqua’s Religious Life Department, overseeing a number of programs and activities, including Sunday Worship Services, Faith for Living Hour, Vespers by the Lake, Children’s Ministries (Children’s Church, God Squad, Middle Grade Madness and Lakeside Underground), Interfaith Week and the Wednesday Night Family Picnic.
The Lakeside Religious Advisory Team supports the programming committee of the Lakeside Chautauqua Board of Directors.
This group of laity and clergy advise the Lakeside Chautauqua staff regarding the programs in the religion pillar, including future Preachers of the Week.
