About
Lighthouse Christian Fellowship
Who We Are
Lighthouse
Christian Fellowship began as a small non-denominational home fellowship in
the early 1980’s. Born out of a desire to know God in a deeper, more
personal way, the church has discovered through the years its own unique
identity and purpose.
Under the
leadership of founding pastor Larry Hasemeyer, Lighthouse strives to be a
beacon of the light of Christ to our community and surrounding areas.
Through a strong gift of encouragement, the Word of God is presented with
clarity and relevance. In a loving, family atmosphere the church experiences
freedom in the Spirit during our contemporary praise and worship services.
Lighthouse is a congregation of people who are dedicated to loving the Lord
and one another, to living in and experiencing the reality of God’s
presence every day, and to reaching others with the life-changing love and
power of Jesus Christ.
To put it
simply, we are people just like you, longing for more of Him.
We Believe
-
The
Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative written
Word of God.
-
There
is one God, eternally existent in three persons; God the Father, God
the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
-
We
believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth,
in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His sacrificial
substitutionary atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His
ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His personal future
return to this earth in power and glory.
-
The
only means of being cleansed of sin and receiving the free gift of
eternal life is through repentance and faith in the shed blood of
Jesus Christ and surrender to Him as personal Savior and Lord.
-
We
believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose
indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy, victorious, and
Christ-like life.
-
We
believe in the manifesting power of the Holy Spirit in spiritual
gifts, signs, and wonders in this present age.
Our Mission and Purpose: Setting Lives on Course
Our mission
and purpose as a church is to set lives on course in the love of God the
Father, through obedience to and fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ, and
in the power of the Holy Spirit.
We
endeavor to glorify God:
-
By
conforming
to the
likeness of God’s own Son, Jesus Christ; and by growing up in Christ as
individual sons and daughters of God, and as a corporate body of
believers.
-
By
mutually
edifying
and
building
one another up in love and fellowship; encouraging, honoring,
respecting, and loving one another; striving to promote one another on
toward love and excellence in Christ.
-
By
lovingly
and
purposefully
evangelizing
the world;
openly sharing the love of the Father and the saving grace of Jesus
Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit; God’s Word, and the
testimony of our lives.
Opportunities
Here at Lighthouse you will find many opportunities to grow in Christ, in
fellowship, in friendship, and in serving through your ministry giftings. We
offer a full ministry of Christian education for all ages in our Sunday
school, as well as relevant preaching and teaching in our main worship
hours.
There are also opportunities to learn and grow in the variety of Bible
studies and discussion groups offered throughout the week. Our G.R.O.W.
group ministry (home fellowships) is a great place to find the fellowship
and friendships that are waiting just for you. There are also many outreach
and service ministries that can become rich and rewarding opportunities for
you to express your love for Jesus and for others.
Our goal is to not only meet the needs of all who are part of the
Lighthouse family, but to offer everyone a place to fit in and to function
in his or her gifting and ministry—a place where you are valued and Christ’s
presence in you is celebrated.
