When you give, you are partnering with Lakeside as we reach out and bring the Gospel to those in our backyard in Granbury, Texas, and all over the world.

Ways to Give

Your giving impacts lives both now and for eternity.

Easing hunger, freeing people from addiction, and taking the Good News of Jesus Christ next door and around the world – these are just a few of the many ways your generous gifts are allowing Lakeside to reach the lost and help the hurting. Giving enables our church to carry out its mission statement – “to equip all families, embrace every generation, and engage the world for Christ.”

“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
~ 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (NIV)
