Lighthouse seeks to demonstrate Christ's love to our membership and community by meeting needs...physical, emotional and spiritual. We believe that every member of Lighthouse is called to minister to his/her neighbor. Additionally, Lighthouse employs pastoral, ministry and support staff to oversee the spiritual growth of the church's members and provide care and support to the church and broader community. Below you will find biographical and contact information for Lighthouse staff members and a layout of our Mt. Pleasant campus.
