Whether you’re a spiritual seeker or fully confident in your beliefs, Lakeside Chautauqua is a safe haven for discovery and reassurance of your faith journey.
After all, as the Rev. Dr. Ned Dewire reminds us, “The foundation of Lakeside was a Methodist camp meeting. Today, Christian values are still just as integral to the Lakeside mission.”
Part of this mission includes our Preacher of the Week program, which provides new perspectives for some and deepens the faithful appreciation for others.
After delivering the sermon at the Hoover Community Worship Service on Sundays, the Preacher of the Week remains at Lakeside until Thursday for Faith for Living Hour sessions, a time when the preacher shares his or her faith journey.
Organizing 11 weeks of preachers takes a lot more planning and time than most Lakesiders might realize. With the help of the Religious Life Advisory Team, fellow Lakesiders and local clergy members, the Rev. Dr. Dewire searches for diverse perspectives to appeal to all faith backgrounds.
