Bursting at the Seams with God's Blessing
God has blessed Lakeview with exponential ministry growth—all for His glory:

• Our biggest Easter ever (1,094 attended).
• Kid's Ministry bursting at the seams.
• More baptisms (+52% in past year from 16 to 38; +138% in two years).
• Growing membership (+21% in past year from 226 to 409; +91% in two years; 3X since 2021).
• More people in all ministries.

However, ministry expansion equals space limitations across all areas:

• Out of space for kids & nursery (attendance +59% in past year from 32 to 65; +103% since 2023; maxing out at 75 on some Sundays).
• Worship Center limit coming soon (350 seats, nearing 80% capacity; maxed out Christmas Eve 2024).
• Limited adult discipleship space.
• No office space for growing staff.

"Without expansion, we risk stalling God's work—preventing new families from joining and capping discipleship. " – Tim Miller, Lead Pastor

Worship attendance +25% (400 to 500) in past year, +90% in two years, 5.3X since 2021 (107 to 500)

Building for Tomorrow's Multiplication
Projections show +40% worship attendance growth (500 to 700) through 2027. That leaves room for only 2 years growth at 20% per year. Without action our growth plateaus. So do baptisms, membership, and discipleship at all ages.

Our growth strategy—Responsible local growth, Replicating through church plants and missions, Regenerative via Missio Collective—demands BEYOND NOW 3GX as the space solution. God is moving; we're called to faithfully implement our mission as we grow, projecting up to 1,500 attendees with expanded facilities.

"Kid's Ministry is bursting at the seams... More baptisms... Growing membership—God is doing immeasurably more now and will beyond now!" —John LaRue, Elder Emeritus
