What We Believe
and truth worth building your life on.
At Lighthouse Bible Church, we believe you shouldn’t have to wonder what a church believes.
Our faith is rooted in the Word of God and centered on Jesus Christ. These truths shape what we teach, how we worship, how we care for one another, and how we live beyond Sunday morning.
Our desire is to glorify God through faith, hope, and love—worshiping Him, learning from His Word, building meaningful relationships, and sharing the hope of Christ with others.
GOD &
HIS WORD
Scripture
We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God and our final authority for faith and life.

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

THE
GOSPEL
Humanity
We believe humanity was created in the image of God but fell into sin through Adam, leaving every person in need of reconciliation with God.
Genesis 1:26–27Romans 3:23
Romans 5:12
Salvation
We believe salvation is the gift of God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ alone—not something we can earn.
John 3:16 · Ephesians 2:8–9Romans 10:9–10 · Acts 4:12
Security
We believe those who have truly placed their faith in Christ are eternally secure in Him.
John 10:27–29Romans 8:38–39
Ephesians 1:13–14
Eternity
We believe in eternal life with God for those who belong to Christ and eternal separation from God for those who reject Him.
John 3:16–18 · Matthew 25:46Revelation 21:1–4
THE
CHURCH
The Body of Christ
We believe the Church is made up of all who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ, united together as His body.
1 Corinthians 12:12–27Ephesians 4:4–6

Baptism & the
Lord’s Supper
We observe baptism and the Lord’s Supper as Christ instructed His Church.

Romans 14:1–13 · Ephesians 4:1–6Colossians 3:12–14
LIVING

Romans 12:1–2Galatians 5:16, 22–25

Faith & Culture
We believe Christians are called to engage the world around us with grace and truth while allowing God’s Word—not the culture around us—to determine what is true.
Matthew 5:13–16John 17:14–18 · Romans 12:2
The Return of Christ
We believe Jesus Christ will return, and His promised return gives believers enduring hope.
John 14:1–3 · Acts 1:111 Thessalonians 4:16–18
The Spiritual Realm
We believe Scripture teaches the reality of angels and fallen spiritual beings. We also believe Jesus Christ is Lord over every power and authority, and our confidence rests in Him.
Ephesians 6:10–12Colossians 2:15 · Hebrews 1:14
You don’t have to have it all figured out before you come.
Maybe you’ve followed Jesus for decades. Maybe you’re returning to church after a long time away. Maybe you have questions you’re not even sure you’re allowed to ask.
Bring them.
At Lighthouse, we believe truth can withstand honest questions, grace has room for imperfect people, and no one needs to pretend they’ve already arrived.
The porch light is on.
