Beliefs

Created to Know and Love God

The purpose of every human being is to know God, love God, and rely on God. This is the kind of life and existence we were made by God to live.

At Lighthouse Community, we are people who say Yes to Jesus' leadership in our lives. After his resurrection and before he ascended to heaven, Jesus said, "All authority in heaven and earth has been given to me" (Matthew 28:18 | ESV). This means that Jesus is in charge. He is King. He is Leader. As his followers, he speaks and we step. Our aim is to help the 50,000+ people in our region and people all over the world discover the joy of knowing God through genuine faith in Jesus Christ. We want to help people live a Yes to Jesus lifestyle.

Six Outcomes

When people say Yes to Jesus' leadership in their lives, they...

  • Experience forgiveness and new life that only comes through genuine FAITH in Jesus as Forgiver and Leader.
  • HEAR God's voice through the Bible, through prayer, and through other growing disciples.
  • Throw down the guilt of religion and enjoy God's GRACE.
  • Take steps in real and meaningful spiritual GROWTH as the Holy Spirit transforms their life.
  • Discover their spiritual GIFTS and use them to serve others.
  • Join God in His mission to RESCUE people from sin and death.

These are the outcomes we pray for. These are the outcomes we work hard to see come about by the Holy Spirit. These are the outcomes that we celebrate. These six outcomes are the supernatural results of saying Yes to Jesus.
