Dear Friend:
I am delighted to have this opportunity to introduce you to
Lighthouse Baptist Church. Moreover, we would love for you to be a regular
part of what God is doing here at Lighthouse. To help you get to know us,
this website should serve as an orientation to our church with the desire
that you be drawn into our fellowship. Christ himself is the very life of this church. E
verything in this body of
believers revolves around Him. This church is His church—Christ is recognized
as Lord here. He is the Alpha and Omega of our lives. He is our Lord and Savior,
our Redeemer, our everything! We are a group of people who have believed upon Christ, love Christ,follow Christ, obey Christ,
and serve Christ. This describes who we are—we are all about Christ! Lighthouse means Fellowship “a sharing in common” and
describes our common life together in Christ. As a church family, we hold in common our Lord Jesus Christ. His spiritual life
pulsates through our body. His truth and love knits our hearts together. Despite our many differences of family background,
education, business,and social standing, we are one in Christ. Baptist defines our theological and historical distinctive. We
are Baptists by conviction, a people who stand in a great line of people who have gone before us. As with our forefathers, we
believe in the full inspiration and authority of Scripture, salvation by grace alone, the baptism of believers only by immersion,
the priesthood of believers, the eternal security of the redeemed, and more. These God-exalting truths mark our identity.Church
also describes who we are. This word -- church -- means, “the called out ones.” Accordingly, we are those who have been called out of
darkness by the power of God into the light of His kingdom. We have been drawn by the Spirit into fellowship with Christ. We are
in the world, but no longer of the world. We are the church—the called out ones. Lighthouse Baptist Church—this is our name. But
it is more than merely a name. We are a congregation who have been redeemed by Christ, who support one another in loving fellowship,
who hold to historic Baptist tenets, and who are called out of the world to be the church of God. Is this the kind of church of
which you want to be a part? Please pray about this being your church home.
