   We are becoming an intergenerational community ...

 in all aspects of our worship, education and ministry.  Lake Nokomis is in a season of change, learning and growth.  We value diversity and believe that we are all called and equipped to share in God's purposes. When those in different  stages of life, with different gifts and needs worship, play, work and learn together, we experience the Body of Christ  in rich and full ways. We are on an exciting journey, committed to becoming a congregation that  integrates children and youth fully into the life of the church.
