Welcome to the website for Lakeside Baptist Church in Afton (Batavia) Ohio! If you are a current member we hope you will find the information you were looking for here and if you are a visitor we hope you will stop by and worship with us sometime!
We are an Independent, Fundamental, 1611 King James Bible Baptist Church led by Pastor Greg Grover since 1990. We pride ourselves on preaching and teaching the word just as it was intended. If you are looking for a church that will preach everyone is going to Heaven and God is OK with the way you live your life then we probably aren`t the church for you. However, if you are looking for a church that is filled with people who fall short of the Glory of God everyday and have to seek his forgiveness and who believe that the death, burial and resurrection of Christ and accepting his blood is the only way to get into the kingdom of Heaven then we are just what you are seeking! You wont find a coffee bar or a praise band but you will find a song leader and a congregation that still sings from the Hymnal. You will find an alter and we still do alter calls at every service. You wont find a children`s church, instead during the service you will find children sitting with their parents, raising their hands in praise, saying Amen and singing along. Children are never too young to hear the word of God and have an understanding beyond what we typically think they do.
Whether you are currently out of church, thinking about joining a church for the very first time or are missing something in your current church we invite you to come join us for a service. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain. We wont track you down and hound you to come to church if we are not what you are looking for. Instead we will thank you for visiting with us, welcome you back anytime and pray that you will find a place that fits what it is your heart is seeking. That being said we certainly hope you will pay us a visit and stay a while. Maybe even begin to call Lakeside "home". We are a small country church with a family atmosphere where the Pastor greets everyone by name. You are more than a seat filled or a tithe check, you are family. We laugh together, cry together, go through lifes trials and tribulations together but most of all we pray, praise and worship together. Come join us, we will be waiting for you!
