Located in Folsom, CA. Lakeside Church is led by Senior Pastor Brad Franklin
Lakeside Church is more than numbers and locations. Through the years, we have been a church where people have learned to put their faith in Jesus Christ and live their life following him. We are a community of people with encouraging stories of changed lives. We have witnessed many children, students and adults grow in their love for the Lord and each other by serving and making a difference at Lakeside, in our community and beyond.
Lakeside Church has been in Folsom since 1987. In 2001, we moved to our current facility at the corner of Oak Avenue Parkway and E. Bidwell Street. Lakeside Church offers four weekend gatherings. We have excellent ministries for adults, students and children to grow, connect and make a difference. Surf our site and if you still have questions, don't hesitate to call our church office at 916.985.3245.
