Why We Exist

Our Mission

Lighthouse Praise Center seeks to bless the community in which it is founded and located in, with the intention to be a spiritual, social, and positive force of influence within the community, that both the church and community may flourish and thrive in a manner that reflects heaven. We seek to edify the body of Christ by building victorious Christ-like Lives by being that beacon of light that sits on the hill, to bring light into a dark world.

My wife and I speak blessings over your and your family. Our prayer is that your home brightly reflects God’s joy, peace, and goodness. As His children, we are promised an abundant life: in our relationships, ministries, missions, and throughout our pilgrimage. We are honored to serve and hope to see you soon!

What We Believe

THE SCRIPTURES

We believe that the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God and is inerrant in the original writings. The Bible being the revealed Word of God is the ground and foundation from which all claims of truth shall be substantiated. The Word of God is alive and quick! Through God’s sovereign hand, the Scriptures have been preserved and are the supreme and final authority.

(II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21; Hebrews 4:12)

GOD

We believe that there is only one true and living God, existing in three persons — Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each is a distinct Person, but they are all of one essence; they all have the same nature, perfection, and attributes, and each is worthy of precisely the same worship, confidence and obedience.

(Genesis 1:1-3, 26; Matthew 3:16,17; John 1:1,14, 10:30, 14:26, 15:26; Matthew 28:19)

JESUS

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; that he shed His blood on Calvary in our place, was buried, rose again, and ascended to the Father, according to the Scriptures.

(Luke 1:26-33, 22:20, 24:46)

The HOLY SPIRIT

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity — God — and coexistent with the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is the Chief Agent in the regeneration of the soul, the Chief Convictor of sin and the Chief Comforter of the believer. Simultaneous with regeneration, the Holy Spirit baptizes the believer into the body of Christ, permanently indwells him and seals him in salvation for all eternity. The Holy Spirit is the giver of spiritual gifts to the believer.

(John 16:1-13; Acts 5:3-4; Titus 3:5; Matthew 3:11; Ephesians 1:13-14; I Corinthians 12:1-11)

MAN

We believe that man is the direct creation of God — body, soul, and spirit. Therefore, man is not in any way a result of evolution but is made in God’s image. The sin and fall of Adam resulted in the fall of creation and mankind, both physically and spiritually.

(Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:10, 5:12, 8:18-23)

SALVATION

We believe that everyone must “Repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins,

and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit”.

(Acts 2:38 )

ETERNAL SECURITY

We believe that salvation is not only a gift from God but is sustained by Him as well. Salvation is wholly of the Lord, apart from the works of man. The Holy Spirit permanently indwells the believer and seals him in salvation for all eternity. Therefore, the believer shall be kept by the power of God through faith.

(John 3:16, 10:27-29, 14:16-17, 26; Ephesians 1:13; 2:8-9; Philippians 1:6; I Peter 1:5; Jude 24-25)
