Co-Working and Social Space

Co-Working and Social Space

Co-Working Space - Mondays, 9am-3pm, Beginning August 18

Sometimes you just need to get out of the office (or home office!) and find some place new to work. Sure, you can go to a coffee shop or the patio of a restaurant, but have you considered... church?!

Starting the week of August 18, the Robertson House will be open on Mondays from 9am-3pm to host anyone looking for a new place to set up shop. There is internet, a printer, and some snacks!

There are multiple places to sit in the main floor of the house and two semi-private office spaces available for when you need to make a call or take a virtual meeting.

Social Space - Thursdays, 9am-Noon, Beginning August 21

Sometimes you just need to get out of the house whether or not you have work to do!

And especially if you're a preschool parent wondering how to fill that narrow window between drop-off and pick-up, may we suggest hanging out and connecting with other parents - or just reading a book?

Starting August 21, the Robertson House will be open on Thursdays from 9am-Noon as a place to hang out. There is comfy seating, internet, and snacks!

About the Robertson House

The Robertson House was orginally a family home, located on the land Lakeside purchased for our current church campus.

During the pandemic when it was not in use, we renovated the main floor of the house, opening it up and creating a space that has been home to all sorts of groups and events.

It is located on the north end of our property, down the steps from the end of the main parking lot where you enter.

If you would prefer not to navigate steps, you can drive past our main entrance to the driveway just beyond the retention pond. That will lead you to a small lot beside the garage.
