Music Ministry

The Music Ministry at Lakeside Baptist Church exists to join together with one voice and glorify our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are united in love with faith in the Lord,to worship, teach, and reinforce biblical truths. Our desire is that we be instruments of God to minister, encourage, motivate, heal, and bring hope to a lost world. The Psalms declare that the Lord inhabits the praises of His people. In all we do, our ultimate goal is to glorify God and sing with our whole heart to and about the Savior.

The CHOIR @ Lakeside

Every week, men and women from all over Van Zandt County come together as members of The CHOIR @ Lakeside. Our main purpose is preparing our hearts, minds, and voices to present a wide variety of music which uplifts the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. We have a great time as we practice, worship, and fellowship with the Choir Family. Do you love to Sing? Come Worship with Us!

INSIGHT! includes young people from all over Van Zandt Country. Since 2000, this student choir has maintained a high standard of excellence and has toured in Florida, New York City, Southern California, as well as throughout the midwestern states and Texas.
