This past Sunday, Dr.Tom Smiley imparted some of the wisdom he has gained over his years in ministry. In this clip, he shares what he considers to be the single greatest bit of wisdom he can offer. You can watch the entire sermon at Lakewoodlife.org

Yesterday, a very special presentation was made to our Senior Pastor, Dr Tom Smiley. This document, framed in wood from the gate around his office garden, contains the responsive reading read by Lakewood's congregation and Dr. Tom of the day he became the pastor of Lakewood. It contains pledges that the congregation made to Dr. Tom and the pledges he made to them that, by God's grace, both sides have upheld over the years. You can watch the presentation at lakewoodlife.org. Simply click "watch" and select either Crosspoint Livestream or Real Life Livestream. The presentation takes place at the end of the service.

A pandemic and some rain didn't stop Mantreat from happening this weekend! Our Middle and High School guys ate like men, played like men and worshiped like men!

Thanks to the Fusion staff and all the Lakewood men who made the weekend happen.
