We are an intergenerational church committed to:
- Living Timeless Truth
- Passionately Worshipping Christ
- Sacrificially Serving Others
........all in a culturally-relevant way
Everything we endeavor to do at Lake Center Bible Church is centered on these three key goals. We believe that when we have helped lead and shape a disciple of Jesus Christ to the point where they are emulating these three characteristics in their lives, we have successfully accomplished the directives that God has given to us as a local church body. To that end, Lake Center Bible Church is committed to love, teach, and lead individuals and families in Portage and all of the Southern Kalamazoo County area to become authentic followers of Jesus Christ.
Lake Center Bible Church has seven core values which are intertwined into each ministry of the church and seek to pervade all interpersonal and corporate relationships of its members and attenders. They are:
