TETELESTAI Campaign
Have you heard about the TETELESTAI Campaign going on right now at Lakeshore Lutheran Fellowship? Tetelestai in Greek means "It is finished" and was the final word of Christ when dying on the cross. He completed the work of salvation! We at Lakeshore want to "complete" payment of our mortgage - early! How early? This depends on the extra "blessings" of contributions to this fund. We are now accepting donations marked "Debt Reduction". After the mortgage has been paid off, we will continue the TETELESTAI Campaign thru 2028. This campaign will allow us to invest in much-needed facility improvements; including technology, HVACs and bring our kitchen up to code so we can better serve the community.

Check us out on Facebook! We have our sermons posted LIVE there on Sunday mornings! You can also "Like" Lakeshore Fellowship on Facebook to receive notifications when we post LIVE!
We now also have YouTube live streaming as well and can be found at this link.

Did you know...Individuals age 59 1/2+ can make distributions from an IRA account? For those currently taking a "required minimum distribution" (RMD), there are added tax benefits. Starting in 2026, you may make a "qualified charitable distribution" (QCD) of up to $111,000.00 from your IRA and pay ZERO TAX, provided gifts are a direct transfer to Lakeshore Lutheran from your financial institution. These distributions also qualify as part or all of your RMD requirement. They may even lower your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI), which can help avoid higher Medicare Part B premiums and other income-based limits. If you are interested in blessing Lakeshore Lutheran with a charitable distribution from your IRA, please contact the church office or your personal IRA account representative. Thank you.
If you would like to give electronically, by utilizing our Vanco App...scan this QR code to get started.
