His Church Journey

Rooted in Bible teaching.

In the 1970s, Tom and Susie were looking for a Bible-centered church that did not feel tied to a traditional denominational mold—one that spoke to their twenty-something generation. They came spiritually of age in a Fort Worth Bible church, where they first saw people taking notes and writing in their Bibles. After a 30-mile move in the 1980s, they found another close-knit Bible church much like Lighthouse.

What He Found at Lighthouse

A place to put their gifts to work.

For 14 years, Tom and Susie earnestly sought a growing, Bible-teaching fellowship where they could fully invest their gifts. They found that church family at Lighthouse—a place to serve, grow, and help others come home.

Come meet Tom and the Lighthouse family.
