Religion
Lakeside Chautauqua
Lakeside’s programming is built upon the four pillars of Chautauqua: religion, education, cultural arts and recreation. The religion pillar hosts a number of summer season programs, including Sunday Worship Services, Faith for Living Hour, Wednesday Family Picnics and Vespers by the Lake, as well as children, youth and teen ministries. Check the calendar for the most current listing of programs and events.
Complimentary passes are available for all worship services and Faith for Living Hour.
Preachers of the Week
At the heart of the Lakeside experience is the religion pillar; fostering faith in the Christian tradition. As part of our Preacher of the Week series, we welcome inspiring preachers to live in residence during the summer to bring spiritual enrichment to the community.
Religion, in Christian tradition, is both personal and social holiness. There are many expressions of religion, and one’s faith journey is not the same as another’s faith journey. Each summer, Lakeside invites preachers from around the world to bring their message to our Sunday Hoover Community Worship Services at 10:30 a.m. while the Chautauqua Choir sings.
Every preacher represents a different understanding of faith. We encourage them to share stories of their own faith journeys and lead our Faith for Living Hour at 9 a.m. Monday-Thursday in Orchestra Hall. We’re excited to welcome the following preachers to bring their different perspectives of faith to Lakeside.

Faith Walk Devotional
At the heart of the Lakeside experience is the religion pillar; fostering faith in the Christian tradition. As part of our Preacher of the Week series, we welcome inspiring preachers to live in residence during the summer to bring spiritual enrichment to the community.
We are seeking writers for the 2024 Faith Walk Devotional. Devotions should be between 200 – 300 words and tied to a “thin place” in Lakeside, where heaven and earth come close together and the presence of God seems especially near. Submissions should include a Bible verse or short Scripture passage and a reflection question at the conclusion. Please send submissions to cyoost@lakesideohio.com with “2024 Devotional” as the subject line. Deadline is January 10, 2024.
