Lakeshore Community Church jobs

"How does the church reach people who may be interested in God but not necessarily in church?"

"How does God's truth change people's lives?"

These two questions are the driving force behind why Senior Pastor Vince DiPaola and his family decided to start Lakeshore Community Church in 1994.  Rochester, NY is in desperate need of a church like Lakeshore, with less than 10% of people in the area identifying as Christian.

With 50% of first-time visitors at Lakeshore identifying as "not Christian," Lakeshore can say they are effectively answering the 2 questions that drove Pastor Vince to start the church. Today Lakeshore has grown to the mid 600’s in weekly attendance, with a beautiful 40,000+ square foot facility in the heart of Greece, NY (a suburb of Rochester) and a new student addition completed in 2019. The community truly views Lakeshore as a place for non-church types. It's common to hear stories of other church's members inviting their friends to Lakeshore instead of their own church because they believe it's a safer environment for their friends to hear the Gospel and get plugged into church.

Moving forward Lakeshore desires to continue being a driven, smart, family friendly church. They lead with down-to-earth teaching, make the depth and beauty of the gospel accessible, while compelling people to grow deeper in their walk with Christ.
