Thank You for joining us for Feeding the 5000! Below is a short message to you from our Lead Pastor.

Lawndale is a church serious about knowing God, walking with Him, enjoying Him, and sharing Him with others. Since God has made Himself known through the Scriptures, we look to the Bible in order to grow in our faith and as our final authority. And since it’s God’s plan for one generation to pass the truth of His Word to the next, we equip the church with all generations in mind. WELCOME to LAWNDALE A Biblical & Intergenerational Church Lawndale's Five Core Values Biblical Worship Hymns and spiritual songs are intentionally sung that are rich and accurate theologically. Sermons are preached that are verse by verse through a text in the Bible and most often as part of a series through a book in the Bible. Our services are an offering to God to bring glory to Him and to equip His people for ministry at home and in the world. ​ Intergenerational Ministry The church must be united. We strive to care for the whole flock and mutually serve each other. The glory of God in a united church is more important than styles and preferences, and we firmly believe and practice the importance of intergenerational worship and ministry. Our services, groups, and training events seek to bring the generations together. ​ Discipleship Culture Jesus commanded His followers to make disciples. We’re not sure a group should be called a church if it’s not following the command of the Head of the church, Jesus. Discipleship is helping others learn and grow in following Christ. We do this from the pulpit, in small groups, in families, and one-on-one. We make disciples who make disciples and particularly focus on the older discipling the younger. ​ Family Equipping Husbands, wives, parents, and grandparents have been given huge assignments from God in their families. As a church that equips the saints for the work of the ministry, we equip members of the family for some of the most important ministry they will do; of course, we are speaking of ministry in the home. ​ Leadership Development We are intentional in praying for and looking for those God may raise up to be leaders and teachers in the church. We also don’t want to miss those God may be calling to vocational ministry. It’s our goal to train, encourage, and send leaders all over the world, and when we do, we want to celebrate what God has done and is doing through them.

As the forecast is still showing steady rain all day long, our outdoor worship service has been rescheduled for TOMORROW evening at 6:00pm. We are aware that there is the possibility for rain tomorrow as well and will postpone the service to next week if it becomes a problem. Please refer to instructions and suggestions in the original communication. We are excited to gather together soon!

The Embrace Grace Ministry group provides emotional, practical, and spiritual support for single, young pregnant women who find themselves in an unexpected pregnancy. The primary goal of Embrace Grace is to empower the church to be a safe and non judgmental place for these young women to run to when they find out they are pregnant, instead of the last place they are welcomed because of shame and guilt. It is a 12-week program that teaches them about God's love and grace, and at the end we will give them a baby shower to honor them for choosing life and to help provide for their baby’s needs.

Noah has been involved in music ministry for over a decade! Apart from singing for his entire life, he began working with the youth praise team at his home church, Life Community, when he was in middle school. Throughout high school, Noah led a number of youth praise teams, and led a chapel band at Cedarville University. Noah worked with vocal teams as well as instrumentalists in a wide variety of genres and styles, coordinating rehearsals and arranging music. More recently, he spent two years as one of the worship leaders at Life Community, working with musicians across the church's music ministry. ​ Other than worship music, his more "nerdy" side very much enjoys a cappella music.

Outside of the realm of music, Noah is a WVU fan (Let's Go Mountaineers), and he closely follows both their basketball and football teams.
