For Parents

We believe parents are the primary spiritual leaders in their child’s life. Lighthouse exists to partner with you, providing a safe, supportive environment where students can grow in their faith, build healthy relationships, and learn how to follow Jesus in everyday life. We commit to clear communication, trusted adult leaders, and biblical teaching that reinforces what is being taught at home.

Purpose of Lighthouse

Lighthouse exists to intentionally disciple students through biblical teaching, small groups, and relational investment—meeting them where they are and equipping them to follow Christ and shine His light for the purpose of the gospel.

We Strive to:
         Stand Firm. Shine Bright. Lead Boldly.

Philippians 2:15-16

Current Lesson Series at Lighthouse

This four-lesson series centers on practical Christian living and how students can intentionally grow in their walk with God. Each week addresses a key area of spiritual formation — the heart, the mind, daily intentional choices, and the spiritual disciplines that help build a lasting and consistent relationship with Christ.
