STAFF BIOS
What a privilege it is to serve as Pastor of Lakewood Way Community Church. My wife, Kristel and I come to you having ministered on staff together in Oklahoma City. Prior to that, we served congregations in Indiana. I attended Anderson University-School of Theology and Mid-America Christian University. My passion is to see people’s lives transformed by the power of Christ.

LEAD PASTOR
I find my greatest pleasure in helping to equip people, assisting them in discovering their spiritual gifts and their life purpose. We take great pride (the healthy kind) in our children: Ley and his wife Hannah, Bryan (attending the University of Oklahoma), and Collin – who lives with us and goes to Blue Springs South High School.

ASSOCIATE PASTOR - Worship Ministries
Laurie Freeland
I am honored to serve Lakewood Way Community Church as Associate Pastor of Worship Ministries. My own spiritual development has been very deeply and positively influenced by Christian music. Even so, I am still often amazed at how God uses music to open and soften people's hearts, to move them into His presence, and to reveal a glimpse of Himself.
We are blessed to have many talented and giving musicians at LWCC. As a team, we are committed to helping people connect to God through worship.
I have been married to my best friend, Tom Freeland, for 33 years and together we have two wonderful grown children and one wonderful son-in-law: daughter Mandy and husband, Dustin; and son, Drew.
