We Help Light the Way To see Lives and Legacies Transformed.
The gospel is the good news of God’s grace invading the darkness of this world. Where once the world was perfect, sin caused a downward spiral that we cannot escape from. It is the beautiful story of God redeeming that spiral and drawing the broken people stuck in it back to Himself through the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. The grace of Jesus for the world on the cross is the heart of the gospel. His resurrection is the strength of the gospel and His ascension is the promise of the gospel.
Our Beliefs
These basic doctrines of The Lighthouse represented from our Statement of Faith will help you understand what we believe to be core elements of biblical teaching.
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, each of whom is fully God, yet there is one God.
Doctrine of Humanity
We believe that all humanity is created in the image of God and possesses intrinsic dignity and worth
Doctrine of Sin
We believe our first father Adam rebelled against God’s commands and that sin has fractured all people and things, leaving the world in desperate need of salvation.
Doctrine of Revelation
God has made Himself known to the world in Jesus Christ, through the Bible, and through creation.
Doctrine of Creation and Providence
We believe that God created the world from nothing and governs all things at all times in all places.
We believe that the Church is the body of Christ sent into the world to shine forth the glory of God.
Our Elders
Adam Sculnick
Pastor / Elder; LighthouseMEN team lead
While serving as a pastor in south Florida, Adam heard God’s call to move to west Michigan in 2023 to preach Christ to the un-churched and de-churched as well as those in church who had lost sight of Christ in their pursuit of tradition and after a short time serving a local church there, God released him from that church and called him to launch The Lighthouse in December 2024. Adam is deeply passionate about the spread of the gospel and is often known to pray randomly with strangers. he is the author of several books about the christian faith, many of which focus on drawing men back to faith and to leadership in their homes and communities, a subject Adam has built his life on.

Acts 1:8
“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Chad Walker
Elder; First Impressions team lead
My amazing wife Stephanie and I have 3 adult children. I was raised here in Fremont and as a boy I went to church, so I believed in a God, but really didn’t know who God was. In 2017 I hit my rock bottom and got tired of living the worldly roller coaster life and let out a heartfelt cry to God to please save me. The next Sunday I joined my wife at church and gave my life to the lord and since that day my family’s and my life have been radically changed. I’ve traveled to Myanmar as a missionary, served throughout the Church and taught in children’s ministry for 5 years. Then in May 2025, my family came to The Lighthouse for what we thought was just a visit to support my daughter’s friends and their dad but instead turned into a calling from God to take a leap of faith and make The Lighthouse our new home church.

Katie Geluso
Treasurer/Secretary
My name is Katie, and I have lived in Newaygo, Michigan, my entire life. I have been married to my wonderful husband for a year and a half, and together we share our home with our three beloved dogs, Lulu, Roger, and Gucci.
I have been a Christian for as long as I can remember, but my faith took on a deeper meaning after my husband and I experienced a devastating loss the day after our wedding. During that difficult season, we leaned on God more than ever before, and through His grace, our relationship with Him grew stronger. What was one of the hardest times in our lives became a testimony of God’s faithfulness, love, and comfort. I am so grateful to be apart of The Lighthouse and help spread God’s word In anyway that I can
