Who We Are
Lighthouse Community Church
Lighthouse Community Church has experienced the faithfulness of God from our beginning, and we rest in the assurance that God’s faithfulness will continue as we surrender and submit to Him.
We are in the process of discerning who God has already chosen as our next Lead Pastor. This person, under the direction of Holy Spirit, will lead us into the next phase of the story God has been planning for Lighthouse since before He penned the first chapter. If you are reading this as a prospective candidate, we invite you to learn about us, our history, ministries, outreach and dreams for the future.

Building & Grounds
Our 25,000 square foot building includes a multipurpose gym/worship space with a stage area, a children’s wing, an office/youth/classroom wing and a library, all connected by a large lobby area. It is a rare day when Lighthouse is quiet. Currently, three homeschool entities rent our facility during their school year. Our spaces are full of the energy of children, parents, and tutors on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from mid-August through early May. Our gymnasium is used multiple days each week year-round by homeschoolers and other groups for basketball and volleyball. The versatility of our gym/worship space allows us to be creative in set up for worship experiences, table set ups for special events or dinners, open gym nights, and more. Lighthouse sits on 18 acres of rural land and provides ample parking, a softball field, and a playground. We have plenty of land for future growth!

Finances
God has been faithful in the area of finances over the history of Lighthouse. Through the faithful giving of our church family, we have been able to meet all our financial obligations and mission-related commitments. We look forward to seeing how God blesses our giving and extends our reach into our community and the world.
