About LakeView Church

Stoughton is a small but growing town of about 15,000 located just outside the Wisconsin state capital of Madison. As one of the safest communities in the state, Stoughton is a charming town to raise a family. There's a state park, four large and beautiful lakes, bike trails, trout streams, and Madison, with a wide variety of restaurants, shopping, and other activities–all only minutes away. In addition, there are great schools in the area, with public and private options.


LakeView Church is a growing family with an average Sunday attendance of 325 in Stoughton, WI. Our congregation is a delightful mix of young families, middle-aged, and older adults. We have a thriving kids ministry, a growing youth ministry, and a bursting-at-the-seams Sunday morning worship ministry. We also have Bible studies and Gospel Communities (medium-sized groups of about 20-30 that meet monthly for a potluck and prayer).


We believe the church is not just a commercialized spiritual service provider or the spiritual equivalent of a “gym for your soul.” A local church is a spiritual home, the household of God, with Christ as the head of the family. Christians are not customers, clients, or consumers but brothers and sisters in Christ—family members. At LakeView, we’re working to reclaim the family dynamic of belonging to a church, and move away from the corporate model of commercial Christianity.


When it comes to discipleship, we don’t see it as just another self-help program with a Christian twist. Rather, being a disciple is about being with Jesus. And a funny thing happens along the way: the more I’m with Jesus, the more I’m like Jesus. Following Jesus is a lifelong journey with the Lord. It’s not as much about the destination as it is about the road trip.


And that’s why one of our mottos is “the most important step you can take is the next one.” Stop worrying about God’s plan for your life, and start asking God about his plan for your day. If you’re with Jesus each day, you’ll be right where he wants you to be in 20 years. Making disciples isn’t about producing “mature Christians” but rather teaching people to be with Jesus and follow his lead each day. Another little slogan we say a lot is that "we’re following Jesus together for the glory of God and the common good."
