Lighthouse Community is a diverse, multi-cultural church. We are a community-oriented congregation. As followers of Jesus of Nazareth, we believe He spoke the truth in His earthly ministry and we are committed to spreading that truth.
​
The Lighthouse community is intentional about responding to this great call by teaching and preaching the gospel of Christ. Together we have created a loving environment that cares deeply for each person that walks through our doors.
We believe that there is one God, who is the Everlasting Father, and the Holy Creator of all things. We believe that His purpose for the church is to carry out the great commission that began with His Son, Jesus Christ.
We also believe in the Holy Trinity, that God's nature is "three-fold": Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We know that the Holy Spirit is empowering the church to embrace God’s command to make disciples of all men.
