Lighthouse Bible Church is a Bible-centered church.  The foundation for all we teach and practice is the Bible, God’s Word.  If we practice something not in harmony with God’s Word, we will change.

We believe that all Scripture, to be properly understood, must be studied in context; linguistically, culturally, and historically. And it must be applied contemporarily.  God’s Word still has the answers for all of man’s problems.

Pastor Roger Willis

When it comes to finances we are a little different.  You won’t hear a lot said about money, and you will rarely see an offering plate passed.  We believe all true believers in Jesus Christ have the privilege and responsibility to return to God a portion of what He allows us to earn.  We do not teach legalistic tithing, but rather challenge you to trust God and use tithing as a starting point, learning to trust Him with more as your faith grows.  We believe your giving is a very personal issue which is indicative of your relationship with the Lord.

Our music is an attempt to fulfill the instruction of Scripture to sing hymns, psalms, and spiritual songs.  We strive for a blend of old and new, heavy and light, attempting never to allow our music to become boring, stale, or worldly.

We are a church that is trying to be what God wants us to be.  We have members and friends who are on every rung toward spiritual maturity.  We attempt to encourage each other on, while remaining tolerant, believing that God must call each Christian to their next step toward maturity.  Our responsibility is to encourage and help each other, not to push or drag one another along.

We are deeply committed to our families, believing God wants us to raise up many godly generations.  We believe the Lord Jesus holds us accountable for the training and education of our children.

Pianist Anna Guy

We are not part of any association or denomination.  However, we do fellowship and cooperate with churches that share our basic commitments.

…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 Ghost.

…In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and      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 to rule a thousand years.

…in the blessed hope – the rapture of the Church at Christ’s coming.

…the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ.

…regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation.

…in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life.

…in the resurrection of, both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.

…in the six days of creation found in the book of Genesis.

…believers should separate themselves from worldly, ungodly activities.

…the local church is God’s institution for evangelizing the lost and building up the saints.

…in the eternal security of all true believers.

Glorifying God, nurturing personal growth and proclaiming the Gospel to the ends of the earth.  We believe we are to gather as a church to glorify God and nurture personal growth, then go out of the church doors to proclaim salvation through the Lord Jesus to a lost and dying world.  Some of the ways we are attempting to accomplish this.

Glorify…
God through worship times, using psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs causing us to focus on God’s attributes and purposes. The Bible message is presented (verse by verse) as the only way to know and live life fruitfully according to God’s principles. We have formal and informal prayer teams that meet at various times throughout the week. Music is important, and we have choirs, musicians, groups, and soloists who give God the glory.

Pastor Roger and his wife Kathy

Nurture…
Personal Growth through Bible study groups, Sunday school classes, special topic seminars, training sessions, AWANA, Parent and Youth Programs (challenging youth to service), Men’s Ministries, Ladies Ministries, College/Career, sports, retreats, tape ministry (without charge). Lighthouse Bible encourages parental responsibility in every area of child rearing and education, with the church providing encouragement, assistance, and Biblical direction.

Proclaim…
The Good News through our Bible Study Groups, AWANA and other church ministries. The training provided through our ministries enables us to support and send out missionaries at home and abroad, participating in our Lord’s Great Commission.
