What’s in a Name?
What’s in a name? Well, when it comes to worship at LCC, the answer is: EVERYTHING! Which is why, after over a year and a half of offering our second worship service, we have settled on a name that we think fits the feel and goals of our ministry: Family Worship, Come As You Are! […]
LCC And Jackson Dailey “Clean Up Good!”
“Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” Matthew 25:40 Jackson Dailey and his project partner Jenna Ham really “cleaned up good” with the help of the generous folks at LCC. The high school seniors were […]

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
We’ve journeyed with Simon Peter through Jesus’ ministry all through Lent. Some of us have fasted, giving up things we enjoy, while others have taken on extra acts of kindness to prepare us for this moment. We are about to enter Holy Week here at LCC, which is both the most wonderful and the holiest […]
Palm Sunday, Pretzels and The Passion
Two-thousand+ years ago, Jesus rode a donkey triumphally into Jerusalem to the acclaim of the crowds. Fast forward to LCC in 2024, where we will commemorate his journey at our 9:00 a.m. service, with shouts of hosanas and a dramatic reading of the Passion, the story of his Last Supper, arrest, crucifixion and death. After […]

In partnership with our church, they have chosen to host a hygiene drive to benefit the St. Petersburg Free Clinic. Their Senior Capstone Project requires […]
Mid-Lent Check In
We’re just about in the middle of Lent now, so perhaps it’s a good time to do a check-in to see how you’re making the most of this time of re-igniting your spiritual life. Did you decide to give up something for Lent? Was it something you enjoy, like perhaps chocolate or pizza? If so, […]
Report from LCC’s Medical Missionary Cynthia Kesty
It was an honor and privilege to join 75 others on a vision project toMacaeo Colombia recently. We came from across Canada and the United States and were joined by 25 Colombian believers and supported by the local church of about 200 believers. We set up in a primary school for the clinic and a […]
Are We There Yet?
Road trips are a blast. Or at least, they’re supposed to be. Not sure if they were for my parents who hauled seven antsy kids in the old station wagon for the eight or so hour trip up north to Michigan every summer. Perhaps the greatest annoyance to my parents was the way that every […]
Flawed But Faithful Disciples: Simon Peter and All the Rest of Us
All of us who are Christians want to follow Jesus more faithfully, but if we’re honest, many of us feel like we never quite get it right. We struggle with our desire to be good witnesses for Christ and our very human shortcomings. But we can take heart from knowing that Christ chose for his […]
