NEW YEAR - NEW NIGHT!!!!

Join us on Wednesday, January 14th, as we kick off a new year!


Becoming and Belonging Discipleship is an exciting opportunity to grow in your faith while building meaningful connections within a loving church community. These small groups are designed to help you become more like Jesus and truly feel a sense of belonging. Through engaging conversations, shared experiences, and mutual encouragement, you’ll find a place where your spiritual journey is supported and celebrated. There are also opportunities to grow as a leader and make a difference in the lives of others. While adults are immersed in Discipleship Groups, children are invited to grow their relationship with Jesus and others at Club 10:14.

Join us WEDNESDAY nights for a life-giving journey of spiritual formation as we pursue hope, healing, and wholeness together through the power of the Holy Spirit!

“Let the little children come to me.” – Mark 10:14

At Club 10:14, we joyfully live out Jesus’ invitation. Every Thursday night, children and mentors gather for a meaningful evening filled with connection, fun, and faith.

Together, they explore The Big Idea for the upcoming Sunday’s Children’s Church, spend time in prayer, and enjoy games and activities that build trust and friendships.

Club 10:14 is designed to help kids grow in their knowledge of The Word, gain confidence in sharing their faith, and experience the love of a Christ-centered community that encourages and supports them every step of the way.

Club 10:14 Mentorship

Spend a Wednesday evening with our Kindergarten through 5th grade kids playing games, building puzzles, and connecting through great conversations!

Our goal at Lighthouse Church is to help children grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ through intentional, Christ-centered relationships with caring, spiritually mature mentors allowing the mentors to live out their faith and the children to feel more connected to their church community.

 

We are looking for two different shifts of youth and adult helpers:

5:00pm - 5:45pm - Dinner Room Monitor

5:45pm - 7:30pm - Child Mentor

Re:generation is a biblically based discipleship program offering healing, recovery, and freedom from all types of struggles.  The reality is that we all experience brokenness in this life. You are not alone. We all have struggles to overcome. Whether big or small, these destructive thoughts and habits hold us back from the life we want–and the life God calls us to live.
