| A Message From our Pastor... I would like to personally invite you to become a part of our church family here at the Lighthouse. As Pastor of the Lighthouse Baptist Church, I believe a church should be a place of worship and a place where friendships are established and people are helped. I try to make the atmosphere of our church one where people want to come, rather than feeling as if they have to come. Our church is not a place where a bunch of hypocritical Christians meet to let everyone know how spiritual they are or to show off their new outfits. We here at the Lighthouse are just regular people who love the Lord and want to be a blessing to others. We have many ministries for all ages that can be a help to the whole family. If you are tired of the same old "religious” church and would like to be a part of a church that is real with real Christians to build good friendships, it would be an honor to have you as my guest. Sincerely, Pastor Paul Bannister II |
Welcome to the online home of
We hope you will find all the information you need to encourage you to visit us and become a part of our family! Come, see why your neighbors are worshipping here. |

FROM GOD'S WORD The Gospel According to John Chapter 1, Versus 1-17 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. |

"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." Isaiah 7:14 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6 "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." Micah 5:2 "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass." Zechariah 9:9 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:16-18 |
