The Lake Union is an integral part of the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists. Our primary objective is to share the "good news" of Christ's saving grace to every individual within its territory. We are committed to helping prepare a people for the soon return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus and we heartily endorse the caring church concept as a means of involving every member in ministering to the needs of God's children. We accept the vital role that the union must play in coordinating the efforts of individual members, churches, and institutions within its territory. In its role, we pledge the support of personnel and means to the World Church in the fulfillment of this task.
