History and Mission
LEMC traces its origins to a congregation active since approximately 1925, making 2025 its centennial milestone. The church emphasizes fostering "a growing, passionate relationship with Jesus" through relational discipleship frameworks: UP (connection with God), IN (community bonds), and OUT (neighbor-focused outreach). Its mission centers on equipping members to live as disciples who actively mentor others in faith practices[3][5].

Ministries and Community Engagement
The church maintains programs for all age groups:

• Children: Sunday programming for nursery to Grade 5, supplemented by midweek activities for Grades 3–5.
• Youth: Midweek gatherings for Grades 6–12 under the "Next Gen" banner.
• Adults: Small groups focused on spiritual growth, leadership development, and community service.

LEMC hosts biannual discipleship conferences called GreenHouse Initiative, emphasizing practical training in evangelism and mentorship. The congregation supports local outreach efforts, encouraging members to serve neighbors and share their faith through acts of service and reconciliation[3][5].

Operational Ethos
As a small-town congregation, LEMC prioritizes relational ministry over institutional structures, aiming to embody Jesus' teachings through everyday interactions. Its leadership model involves multiple pastors and lay leaders collaborating to guide ministries[3][5].
