Brief History of Our Lakeside Ministry

 

     Our Lakeside ministry began in July of 1977.  It was the vision of Elder John Thompson and a Chaplain at Shaw Air Force Base, along with the Church’s new pastor, Rev. Kenneth Kepler.  They met at Deal’s Marina parking lot next door to Shaw’s Recreation Park.  By the second Sunday Gene Sheorn had built a pulpit podium that was used until the worship was moved to Windward Point in 2004.   There were twelve people in attendance at that first worship but they brought with them a belief that this beginning ministry was of God and also a faith that they were called to do the work.  These two beliefs  continue today; twenty-nine years later.  This is the ministry of God and we are called to do it!


 

In 1995 I had a vision making it clear to me that the Lakeside ministry was at the core of who we were as a church.  The vision was followed by the dream of having our own place on the lake.  It was at that point that I shared the dream with some people of prayer within our church asking them to pray with me, asking God for our own place.  I watched lake lot prices grow completely out of our reach and knew it would take an act of God’s grace to bring this dream to fulfillment.  Windward Pointe is an act of God’s grace!  Now, with these lots and the common area, it is beyond grace moving into the miraculous.  The dream of this place becoming a deeply sacred place is becoming a reality.

     This remains God’s ministry and we remain willing to do the work and much work remains.  Therefore, let us continue in the Lord’s work.
