Preacher of the Week:
Dr. Christine Pohl
Many of us long for a sense of community - a place where people know and welcome us.
Is Lakeside just a place to vacation? Or is Lakeside a community where people find belonging?
As Preacher of the Week,

Dr. Pohl earned her Bachelor of Science from Syracuse University, her Master of Arts in theological studies from Cordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and her Doctorate in ethics and society from Emory University.
