The Missions Ministry exists to help the members of Lakeside Baptist Church fulfill the Great Commission through ministries that cross such barriers such as geography, culture, language and socio-economic differences. These ministries seek to utilize the spiritual gifts of individual Christians who desire to participate in cooperative partnerships such as mission trips, nursing home ministries, Vacation Bible School, and special mission events that go on throughout the year.
