History
The first service was held at the Venice Civic Center in
1949 with Rev. Luther Willer of Concordia Lutheran Church, Sarasota,
conducting the service. The preaching station was known as
Messiah Lutheran Church of Venice. In 1954 the members of St.
Matthew, Englewood and Messiah, Venice, united and organized
Lakeside Lutheran Church. Members erected a preaching platform
for Drive-in Services. This was the first Drive-in Church in
the area. Sunday School was held under the trees after the
Drive-in Services. In 1955 the first building was
erected. Lakeside now has a coordinated complex of buildings,
the latest being the Preschool building dedicated in
2004.
