Our Story

Broadway Avenue

Lakeview Church started as a Free Methodist Mission, meeting from 1921 to 1928 in a storefront in the Smith Block on Broadway Avenue.

 

Eastlake & Main Street

The growing congregation worshipped in a church facility on the corner of Main Street and Eastlake Avenue from 1928 to 1964. This building is now a Unitarian Church.

 

Greystone Heights

A new building, Greystone Heights Free Methodist Church, became the home of the congregation in 1964 and served the needs of a growing church until the relocation to our present facilities in 1981. That building is now home of the Salvation Army in Saskatoon. A recent renovation and facelift has allowed them to continue the tradition of reaching people in Saskatoon.

 

Lakeview Church

The decision to build Lakeview Free Methodist Church in 1981 was a large step of faith. Weekly attendance was about 150 people but the vision was cast for a church that would reach and have an impact on all of Saskatoon. In 1981 we moved into the present facility. With a sanctuary that seats around 450 people and a large number of multi-purpose rooms, the current building has served its family well.

Vision has characterized the leadership of both pastors and laypersons in the significant steps of faith that mark the path of our journey. Reverend R. H. Hamilton, the founding pastor, along with lay leaders like C.Jarvis and C. Nixon were true pioneers. Reverend Milburn Hindmarsh successfully led the church both in earlier and later segments of its history. Pastor Les Krober, recently elected to be one of the Bishops of the Free Methodist in North America, helped the congregation prepare for the significant move to the growing Lakeview area of Saskatoon. In the late 1980's Pastor Glenn Teal helped develop a style of ministry designed to meet the needs of people who were seeking after God in our community.

1995 saw the leadership of the church given to Pastor Dean Angell. Along with Dean, there are other staff and countless unpaid ministry leaders and servants of Jesus Christ that give of their resources to make Lakeview Church an exciting place to be.
