Our Missions Program

Worldwide Missions

Jesus told us to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. While all of us cannot go around the world, we can all have a part in helping those God has called to go abroad preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Lakewood's missions program does just that. As a church, Lakewood supports missionaries around the world through the Faith Promise giving of its members.

Faith Promise Giving

Here at Lakewood, we believe in Faith Promise giving. This is giving to missions through the local church above and beyond the tithe for the purpose of spreading the Gospel around the world. Our missions program is funded solely through Faith Promise giving. God has greatly blessed His people's giving and Lakewood has been able to support many missionaries throughout the years.
