Being a “member” of a church is a man made idea that we don’t see in the Bible and that we’ve seen cause more harm than good to the body of Christ. So The Lighthouse chose instead to move in the complete other direction, following the example set for us in Acts Chapter 2.
“All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer. A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity— all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.” -Acts 2:42-47
If you feel like this church is your home, the Bible says to fellowship with the other believers here, give generously to the church with your finances, serve in the church where your gifts allow and guide you and evangelize in the community for this church. Learn the mission, pray for the pastor, the elders and leaders, and grow in your love for Christ alongside us.
The Lighthouse is a church that welcomes everyone. If you’ve never stepped into a church or if a church didn’t accept you; whether you love the Lord or you’ve never met Him.
Most churches have membership with roadblocks for outsiders/non-members, a low expectation of its members and low participation. We want to be a church with high expectations, high participation and no roadblocks. So you won’t find any membership forms or membership classes here. If you feel like you belong here, it’s because you do. And if you want to grow deeper in your connections here, talk to our pastor or one of our elders to learn who we are and why this is a place you can see your life and legacy transformed.
