"No man is a fool who gives up that which he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose."

Lighthouse community Church is a registered 501 (c) (3) non-for profit organization. At Lighthouse, our purpose is simple. Lead individuals into a dynamic relationship with Jesus, while empowering them forward in their spiritual journey. We're devoted to fostering spiritual development, building a sense of community, and equipping our members to impact the world with the transformative love and teachings of Jesus Christ.

We pride ourselves on being a vibrant and diverse congregation. Our commitment to diversity runs deep, as we embrace individuals from all walks of life, cherishing the unique perspectives and experiences they bring through our doors.

Our Mission

Our mission is to bring others ‘Towards Christ’, as we show kindness to others, and share the message of the hope of Jesus.

We do this through three categories:

KINGDOM - Investing in people and projects that directly share the message of Christ. This includes supporting missionaries, church pastors and scripture teachers, locally and across the world.

COMMUNITY - Showing kindness and caring for those in need in our community. We support and administer programs that support those suffering financial hardship, homelessness, disadvantaged circumstances, or simply those that need support and connection.

NATIONS - Supporting projects that provide hope to those who cannot speak up for themselves, in some of the poorest nations around the world. These projects include supporting orphans and widows in India and Sri Lanka, serving the poor in the Pacific Islands, and a crisis home, education and medical support in Northern Nigeria.
