Our Story

Lake City Christian Reformed Church began its first service in June 1954 with two families. Its present site was donated by the late Representative Engel, and the original building was purchased from Prosper Christian Reformed Church in 1957 and then moved to the current site.

Because of growth, the main part of the church was built onto the existing building and completed in 1968. In 1978, a second addition was added again because of growth. Our current structure, which includes more additions throughout the years, was dedicated on February 25, 1996.

We praise God for the years of growth and existence in our community. We pray for His continued blessings in the future.

Together, transforming lives for eternity.

As a family of the forgiven, we will bring the hope of Christ to the community by meeting needs, seeking those far from God, restoring the broken, partnering with others, and discipling followers of Jesus to become life-giving servants in our world.
