Welcome to LCM. We don’t think it’s any accident you’re here. We’ve been praying for you and hope you make yourself at home. Our hope is that you will feel welcome here and find it a place to grow your faith and serve Jesus in our community. We offer Biblical preaching and an authentic style of worship in our services. While we strive to connect people to Jesus and one another, we also work toward being a faithful church who reaches out and challenges everyone to follow Jesus completely. One of the ways we try to connect people is by loving people where they are.
The church community is very important for us. God uses the church, made of men and women like you and me. We don’t need to be perfect to be used by God but need to be open, willing and eager to grow. We need to spend time together, surrender to God’s way for our lives and live out His plan each day as fully as we can. We need to know where we are headed, how to get there and how to stay connected in community as we make the journey together.
Whether you are new here or a long-time guest of the church, we’re glad you are visiting LCM. We hope that you will join us as we come together and use our God-given gifts for the greater community and participate in transforming lives. We hope you will prayerfully consider joining the LCM community.
When you say yes to belonging here, you step onto the playing field and honor God with your unique contributions to LCM, our community and this world. Our church will be stronger for it. And you’ll be stronger for it, too.
In Faith,

- I am part of the LCM Community.
- I commit to leading a spiritually surrendered life.
