The Cornerstone of Lexington Baptist Church
Senior Adults are the "cornerstones" of our church and are active participants in the ministry of LBC. Come join us as we learn and grow in discipleship. Out of participation, we can learn and grow in our Christian pilgrimage.
LBC Seniors make a difference!
We want to be all that we can be for Jesus Christ!
