Lakeside Christian Church Leadership
Lakeside Christian Church is blessed to have a leadership team who are truly dedicated to Christ and accomplishing His will. Following are brief bio's of our leadership team and their qualifications for ministry.
Joe van Heerden & family
Senior Pastor
Pastor Joe has been married to his lovely wife Nicky since 1981 and they have three children and three grandchildren. They were born and raised in South Africa and came to America in 1994 as a result of a direct call from God to participate in the coming revival. Our Mission We are ordinary people from around the world, reaching out to build a family of friends who love God, discipling and equipping the body of Christ in expectation of the soon return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! We have a passion for the Church in America. We believe that when the church is strong the multitudes will be forth coming because God can trust us to disciple them properly. Why would He entrust more to the ones who have not been faithful with little? Therefore, it is our desire to love one another as He loved us, with the result that the whole world will know we are His disciples and they will come with their burdens knowing that we will not condemn but help and support them. It is our firm belief that the local church is a place of equiping people to know how to be successful in life and ministry. We are working together to remove people's suffering; Spirit, Soul and Body, through the grace of Jesus Christ, preparing people for eternity. It is the responsibility of every believer to know how to lead someone to Christ, how to heal the sick and how to love one another and care for one another as a family. Galatians 6:2 " bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ" So join us, I know you will like it! Joe van Heerden. Senior Pastor. - |
