About Lakeside
Who We Are as a Church
Lakeside Regional Church is a welcoming Christian community committed to the truth of Scripture and the transforming power of Jesus Christ. We are a multi-campus church serving the Adirondack region, gathering in both Hague and Ticonderoga to worship, learn, and grow together.
We believe the church is more than a place you attend—it is a people you belong to. Our desire is to cultivate a genuine, Christ-centered community where individuals and families can grow in their faith, build meaningful relationships, and discover their place in God’s story.

What We Believe
Lakeside Regional Church is rooted in the Wesleyan tradition and holds to historic Christian beliefs centered on the authority of Scripture and the saving work of Jesus Christ. These core beliefs shape everything we teach, how we live, and how we serve.
BIBLICAL AUTHORITY: The Bible is the highest source of written authority for God’s plan for His people; it reveals how to live out that plan, individually and corporately. Beliefs, practices, priorities are to be anchored in clear biblical teachings.
CHRISTLIKENESS: Jesus Christ is the defining feature of God’s will for all humankind. In Christ is found the highest and most practical meaning and clearest example for holy living or godliness. Christ is both example and strength as Wesleyans pursue integrity, excellence, faith, hope, and love.
DISCIPLE-MAKING: Making disciples is a clear mandate from Christ. This requires a strong focus on evangelism and training in spiritual growth and holy living. Done effectively, this will produce and promote growth and health in and among the churches.
LOCAL CHURCH CENTERED: The denomination exists to serve local congregations. Local churches are the most fundamental and strategic points of evangelism and discipleship. The challenge of the denomination is to keep finding the best ways to serve and strengthen congregations.
SERVANT LEADERSHIP: Wesleyans respect leadership that is placed over them, while realizing that the authority and effectiveness of spiritual leadership is not primarily bestowed, but earned and manifested by a loving and willing heart of obedience that serves God and mankind gladly. Wesleyans desire to be leaders in serving.
UNITY IN DIVERSITY: There is intrinsic value in every person. Unity becomes all the more important and beautiful in the light of the wide ranges of difference in personality, culture, race, talents, and perspectives. Loving each other eliminates devaluation and deprivation of life to one another.
