what it means to belong

Lighthouse Church Lakewood provides believers in Christ with interactive fellowship, discipleship and worship opportunities primarily online. Those who connect with this ministry will find: 

Covering – We take the mission of the church seriously. As such, we ask anyone that is considering participating with Lighthouse Church to seriously consider your connection. All we ask is for those who participate in this ministry is to approach the relationship prayerfully, honestly and intentionally with a heart and mind that is open to the working of God's Spirit in a fresh new way. We are also committed to these same principles with a heavy dependency on the leading of the Holy Spirit, to provide anyone that is willing to submit, a solid spiritual  covering and sincere pastoral leadership. (Heb 10:25, 1 Cor 12:27, Rom 12:4-5, 1 Cor 12:12) 

Community – Lighthouse is an interactive hybrid community with online and in person worship and fellowship opportunities. You can be as engaged as your hunger for God leads you and your schedule allows. (Acts 2:46, 5:42)

Discipleship – We believe in teaching God’s people how to live victoriously for Jesus. From basic bible doctrines to spiritual disciplines training and advanced leadership preparation. Members are challenged and  given the tools to live the life of an over-comer and world changer for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Matthew 28:19

Connection – We don’t just depend on our worship and teaching services to be the main driver of life change for a believer. More than 30 years of ministry has taught us that life change happens when believers are able to connect and create healthy Christ centered community with others of like precious faith. As a result, Lighthouse ministry partners are invited to participate in life groups where they can regularly connect around specific interests, topics, or affinities. Those who are called to lead are trained and sent forth to be Kingdom builders through a variety of ministries.
