2 016 ANNUAL REPORT
The last twelve months have been a remarkable season in the life of our church. This has been a year defined by growth in multiple ways. First we have grown in terms of Places. On November 29, we launched the newly renovated Taylor Mill campus. Taylor Mill has been an incredible addition to the Lakeside family. This campus is in the right place for the right time and is allowing us to reach an old community in a new way. Though the response from the community already has been great, we look forward to greater days ahead as we deepen our roots and expand our influence. We have also grown in terms of People. Through the ministry of all three campuses we are continuing to reach more people all the time. We are not Jamie Snyder a church obsessed with numbers, but we are absolutely a church focused on Lead Pastor numbers. The simple reality is this: numbers matter because each number represent a man, woman, or a child. We are in the people business and the only thing better than reaching people is reaching more people. So we were certainly excited on a February weekend when we had 3000+ in weekend attendance for the first time in the history of our church. We are gathering and scattering more people than ever before, but there are still so many to reach. So we will always take appropriate time to celebrate, but we will not let our celebration lead to complacency. Last, but certainly not least, in the last year we also grew in terms of Provision. This last Spring, we experienced Exponential together. Exponential was a generosity initiative in which everyone in our congregation was challenged to grow up in terms of generosity to God. The goal was ambitious, $10 million for two years, and yet we exceeded our goal. When all commitments and expected generosity was calculated together we reached $10.2 million dollars for the next two fiscal years. The dollar amount is certainly compelling, but what the dollar amount represents is far more compelling. As we were reminded, money follows our heart, and our heart follows money. Therefore, our $10.2 million figure communicates clearly that we have more hearts engaged and at a deeper level than any previous time in the nearly 50-year history of our church. Our mission as a church involves buildings and budgets, but our mission is not about buildings and budgets. Our mission is all about loving Jesus and loving like Jesus. Both inside the walls of our campuses, but more so outside the walls, we want to do everything we can to help people experience the love of Jesus again or for the very first time. The bottom line for our church is not dollars and cents, but transformed lives. Lives are only fully and finally transformed by the love of Jesus.

CONNECTION
Remaining connected in a relationship with God is the core of the Christian life. Finding ways to invite God into all aspects of your life is key. Therefore, developing a lifestyle that regularly includes worship, Bible study and prayer are a few foundational practices that produce spiritual benefits.

COMMUNITY While a relationship with God is personal, it’s never private. Community is God’s call for us to refuse to do life alone. It’s intentionally choosing to do life together with other followers of Jesus. In community, we find the consistent encouragement we need to stay connected to God and to live out the mission.

Posts from our
family!
When we discover how generous God is, it is appropriate for us to respond with a lifestyle of generosity. Being generous with our time and resources is one of the most effective ways for us to live out our mission. The opportunities to be good news will vary but they will always call on us to be generous, like our God.

MULTIPLICATION We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we take our call to make disciples very seriously. Winning the hearts of as many people as possible with God’s love, truth and grace is Jesus’ mission for us. Multiplication is the measurable result of disciples making disciples.
