About us

-SOMETHING NEW-

We're a new, non-denominational church plant that's all about connecting people with Jesus. We're a community of imperfect people giving our lives to bring the perfect light of Jesus into a dark world. We exist for the good God and for the good of West Michigan because we believe Jesus is good news for

everyone, Including you.

So come check out what The Lakes is all about and help us make a massive difference in this place we call home.

"His intent was that now, THROUGH THE CHURCH, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence."

-Ephesians 3:10-12-
