History of Lighthouse Baptist Church
The Lighthouse Baptist Church began as the burden of a few families to have a church that met the needs of the community. The Lord has blessed in an amazing way and hundreds now attend our church. From its beginning on March 7, 1993, the purpose of our church has been to show real Christianity and to be a, "lighthouse to the area."
Our Motto is:
HELPING TO KEEP HOMES AND LIVES FROM BECOMING SHIPWRECKED.
