My son's school game here for a field trip. He had fun learning how they used to do things.

Excellent pancake breakfast, dining alfresco on the south patio while listening to live music prior to the Lakeside Roedo Parade.

My husband’s family has a unique history w this church. My departed husband’s funeral celebration of life was held there. Many marriages as well.

The volunteers are very knowledgeable and friendly. I learned a lot about the history of Lakeside, the people who formed this town and the excitement of the past as told by their Docents. I had a great experience. The gift store, stock some very cute items for purchase.

I just love this old church. It was built in 1895. The first service in the new sanctuary was held on February 9, 1896. They have a museum, small gift shop, and archives in the back of the church.
