About Us
First Among Regional Conferences
The Lake Region Conference began to operate in January, 1945, with offices in Indianapolis, Indiana. For 70 years the Lake Region Conference has been engaging in mission and ministry that have brought transformation and growth to people and communities.
Our Present
The work of those who have gone before have yielded tremendous fruit for the Lord’s Kingdom. Today, there are more than 29,000 Adventists within the Lake Region Conference who worship in 107 churches scattered throughout Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
Our Future
As important as looking back is, moving forward with renewed purpose and fervor is our aim and goal. We have recommitted ourselves to the founding ideals of our pioneers, as well as renewed our pledge to expend our energies and extend ourselves to win the lost for Christ.
