Lakewood offers a variety of music and arts programs for people of all ages. Our mission is to use the gifts of music as a means of worshiping and praising God. Our primary purpose is to provide musical leadership and support for all worship services, as well as special programs during the year. New members are always welcome at any time during the year.
