Lakeside Presbyterian Church is rooted in loving God, loving our neighbors, and living our lives in a manner befitting the Lord. This is the best and only way we, as followers of Christ and good citizens, can fulfill our mission. For seventy-five years, Lakeside has been a beacon of light to the Ingleside and Stonestown communities and the city of San Francisco. We celebrate our faith through worship, education, mission, and outreach. Everyone who wishes to worship the Lord God Almighty is welcome here!

We belong to a denomination of 1.4 million members with historical roots in the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. The word “Presbyterian” comes from the Greek, presbuteros, which means “elder,” reflecting our belief in a representative form of church government under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Presbyterian Church is a representative democracy governed by individuals elected from and by the congregation. Authority in the Presbyterian Church resides with the duly elected representatives of the congregation in the appointed church governing bodies. The Session governs Lakeside Presbyterian Church.
