Discussion > My Family's First Visit to LCC

My family and I moved to Lakeside from Chino in February 2009. We have tried a number of churches in the area in hopes to find a new home church. We came from a very active and large congregation at Calvary Chapel Chino Valley and enjoyed excellent teaching from Pastor David Rosales.

Having been unable to find a place where my wife, kids, and I were comfortable, I simply conducted a Google search on my computer… “Christian church, Lakeside, CA”… and up popped Lakeside Christian Church. I read the information on the web site and told my wife I had found a church we could try out!

I pulled into the parking lot at LCC and my initial thought was, “Wow this place is small.” Having been raised in a small church, I had no reservations about walking in. After all, church is not about numbers, it’s about relationships!

It’s been said you only have one chance to make a first impression. What a tremendous first impression! My family and I felt welcome from moment one. It was Father’s Day and the pre-sermon time was spent having fun with the dads in the room! I can’t remember when I’ve laughed so hard… particularly with a bunch of people I didn’t even know.

One thing was clear to me… God is present at LCC. The laughter I shared in my hour or two there and the quality of the message was unmistakable. We will continue attending LCC and are anxious to hear the next message!
