This church is anointed. There are 3 service times 9 am, 10:15 am, and 11:30 am. There is a nursing…read moreroom with a tv in it so that you can still see the service if you would like to nurse. The kids are learning the Bible at their age level in their own classes on Sundays. You can feel the difference when you walk in the door. Lake City has over 38 life groups, excellent kids programs, Prison Ministry, Celebrate Recovery, Marriage Groups, Fellowship groups, Prayer groups, Bible Studies, Art groups, Holy Rollers motorcycle group, Spiritual Warfare groups, Fitness groups, Hispanic connection, Singles group and so much more. It feels like a big family. The Pastor speaks Biblical truth and not his own opinions. That is a very important part of following the Bible. I see someone gave a one-star review because the sermon had politics in it.....Everything that you do in life matters. That includes the way you vote. Jesus is pro-life. If you are going to a church that does not feel that way, that is not of God. Don't let anyone's opinion of a church sway you. How do you know what their walk with God is like? Come and see for yourself. When you follow Jesus, you follow Him as a way of life, not just on Sundays. Tuesday nights are for kids from 6th-12th grade. They have an amazing time learning about Jesus. The Wednesday night prayer events are out of this world. If you need a home church that is 100% about Jesus and a big family, come join us. If you want to go to a church where you hear what you want to hear, that is not always Biblical and this will not be the place for you. Sometimes the Lord will make sure you feel convicted. That can be a good thing. All are welcome at Lake City. It is one beautiful melting pot of amazing people. There is something for everyone. This is a place I am proud to call my church home.

At first glance you would not know it is a church. It is situated in a shopping center, right next…read moreto a food lion grocer store. But don't let that discourage you from entering. As you walk in the door, you are greeted by friendly people, who welcome you, offer coffee, water and snacks/cakes. A really nice comfortable lounge / foyer area to relax and have coffee, to wait on others and mingle while waiting on service to start. The area also serves as an area to post announcements, collections for various ministries. It has an awesome kids area, modern, clean, lots of colorful graphics, games, air hockey and other stuff for kids. Then the general seating area for services. This is a nice clean, comfortable area, that has large round tables to sit, or a front area with regular seating. I loved the table idea, cozy, can write notes, and have a coffee in front of you. Service begin at 10:am. Sometimes there is a musician who played upbeat, progressive and various types of music, sometimes the screens would show various worship songs. About 15 minutes of music while people arrive and get seated then the service begins with the pastors message. Pastor Mike Pharr truly is an awesome speaker. He is down to earth, reads bible verses, but also applies honest, personal stories to relate to the message, he also just throws in a few funny things or something about himself that makes you laugh. He just has a relaxed but powerful way to present the message and the message is always relevant. Prayer is done throughout the message at beginning, sometimes during the service and ending. Music worship sends you off. I have to say that I was invited and cannot thank that person enough for that. i would not have known about this awesome place and am so thankful to be a part of them now. I am a new person, attending a few months now. But from the moment I walked in the door to the time I was made to feel welcome. I was given an adorable bag with a welcome gift. I was greeted as I walked in, people introduced themselves and welcomed me. At the end of the first service people came and introduced themselves welcomed me. Pastor Mike and his beautiful, wife, Karen talked with me after service. I have to say that this is a place that is welcoming, are true Jesus followers, believe and follow the bible, they are reaching out to the community to serve in various ways, homeless outreach, homeless huts, connecting with schools to sponsor them, they have a giving box area that they provide food, baby items and other items families might need and can visit this for those items. They have small groups that meet twice a month at 5pm on Sundays as well as a womens group that meets every third Thursday at 6pm. They have trips, picnics and other things for the rock community to attend. they have a website and a facebook page if you want to check them out. You are so welcome here so I would say give them a try if you have been searching for a place you feel you belong.

SCC is a very Biblical Church that follows the Bible…read more A place where we: Our Beliefs at Summit Community Church Our Beliefs are summarized in our Purpose Statement: "We exist to glorify God by Reaching Up, Reaching In, and Reaching Out." Reach Up We believe in the one living and true God who is the Creator of everything. He has eternally existed in perfect unity as three equally and fully divine Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Deuteronomy 6:4; John 17:3; Hebrews 1:2-3 We believe that God created us to worship Him and give Him glory. Isaiah 43:7, 21; Psalms 96:9; Matthew 4:10 We believe that sin has kept us from knowing God and worshipping Him. Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin, was physically resurrected, and now offers a restored relationship with God to all who believe and trust in Him. John 3:16; Romans 3:21-24 We believe that salvation is a free gift given from God and must be received personally by faith. John 5:24; Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-9 We believe the Bible is the complete record of God's self-disclosure and a fully accurate account of God's love for us. Scripture is our final and sufficient authority for all of life and its purpose is to show us how to have a relationship with Him, worship Him and glorify Him. 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21 Reach In We believe that Jesus established His Body on earth in the Church and the church exists to make known the Gospel and declare the glory of Jesus throughout the world. 1 Corinthians 12:12-31; Colossians 1:18-20; 1 Peter 2:9 We believe the church is a family and that every believer should be connected with a local body of believers for the purpose of mutual encouragement, spiritual growth and accountability. Ephesians 4:11-16; Colossians 3:12-27; Hebrews 10:24-25 Reach Out We believe that God cares about every need of every person and that the Church, as Christ's Body, is to show His love and care for every person. Every member of the church is called to be a minister of the gospel through both acts of loving service and through a willingness to share the truth of the gospel with everyone where they live, work, and play. John 13:34-35; 1 Peter 3:15; 1 Peter 4:8 We believe that the scope of God's love is worldwide and we are committed to taking the gospel to the farthest and most unreached places of the world. Isaiah 49:6; Matthew 28:18-20; Romans 10:13-15; 1 Timothy 2:3-4 Worship with us Sunday!

I think some people should ashamed of themselves with these comments. The folks at Christian…read moreMinistries are volunteers, meaning they don't get paid to put up with ignorant people, but they do, and with a smile. If you don't like the way it looks or how they run it then go volunteer there and help them, since you think you can do the job better. They have a lot of work to do and they are only opened on a limited schedule (because again it's a volunteer based operation). And most of their funding goes to helping those in need with food, clothing, financial assistance and they deliver holiday meals for those who can't leave their home. Not to mention most if not all are seniors, and you should respect your elders. I love Christian Ministries. They have a great team of people! Like I said, go volunteer and help them instead of bragging about your "selfless" deeds and then complaining about people who give their lives to help their community. And if you don't like the way it looks, again VOLUNTEER or donate so they can update their facility. BTW, they volunteer their vehicles as well as their time, they do it FREE!! If they don't get to you in your "time frame" then find a way to drop it off yourself. So insert foot in mouth and have a heart.
