Missions

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations

Matthew 28:19

God is a God of Missions. He is always working to extend the message of His salvation to the ends of the earth. Graciously, He has allowed LC3 to participate with Him in this mission. LC3 has been a solid presence in local and overseas missions for years, and now is expanding its reach into new areas around the world, providing new ways for the LC3 family to be involved. 

Niger

Through prayer and research LC3 identified a movement of God among the unreached Tam@jaq and Ful@ni people of Niger. We formed a primary partnership with SIM. For the past decade we have sent, supported, funded, networked, prayed, and praised God for how He is working in Niger. We eagerly anticipate what God has in store for the next 10 years. 

D@gestan

In 2018 we launched our KAN ministry, which aims in the opposite end of the 10/40 Window, in the D@gestan region. Our adopted three unreached people groups in this area are the K-umyk, @kkin, and Nog@i. Pray for breakthroughs among these extremely difficult groups to reach. 

Malawi: Passion Center

We have had a strong partnership with Passion Center for Children. LC3 has partnered with Passion Center through mission trips, prayer, and financial assistance to support local pastors ministering to achieve their vision to see all Malawians experience the grace and love of God through Christ-centered, church-based community transformation.

LOCAL OUTREACH

Young Life & Youth For Christ

LC3 is also pleased to have local partnerships with Young Life and Youth For Christ by financially and prayerfully supporting them and sending volunteers for their ministries and special events. 

Bread of Life Food Bank

The Bread of Life Food Bank's mission is to provide temporary food and other services in a compassionate, loving manner to needy families and individuals associated with Lake City Community Church and its surrounding area. If you are interested in volunteering, contact Lucy Wise.
 
Hours: 1:00-5:00pm every Thursday

Table of Nations

We have unreached people groups right here in our neighborhood. Table of Nations is working to find ways to connect with and share the love of Jesus with these people. Whether it's helping them learn English, or helping them navigate life in the U.S., there's a need for LC3 to be the hands and feet of Jesus right here. Contact TableofNations@LC3.com to learn more.

Life Teams

The LC3 Life Team exists to coordinate and equip the LC3 church family, in response to the Gospel, by promoting, supporting, and caring for all human lives in our community.
 This team has three areas of emphasis: 1) Pregnancy support and abortion recovery/healing, 2) Supporting families involved with adoption and/or foster care, and 3) Helping raise awareness of mental health needs within the church and community.
Contact LifeTeam@LC3.com to learn more.

Samaritan's Purse

LC3 partners with Samaritan's purse to help provide disaster relief both in the U.S. and around the world. Every year we send multiple teams throughout the U.S. to help clean and rebuild after hurricanes and tornados.

CareNet

Care Net of Puget Sound provides free and confidential pregnancy tests, options education, parenting support and more. Call or text 877-NOT ALONE (877-668-2566) to connect with help 24/7. 

The Neighborhood Center

Loving Our Neighbors

The Neighborhood Center’s mission is to connect LC3 with the Lakewood community to share the love of Christ, support community, and build connections. Within Lakewood, we seek to build community, empower people, and meet needs. We equip our congregation to get to know our neighbors and find opportunities to share the love of Christ in our community interactions.

To join our Community Garden, or for more ways to connect with the community around us, contact Janet Spingath, Director of The Neighborhood Center.

Serve our community. Serve our world.
