We seek to Discover God Develop in truth Experience Release
the vision
from the begining
Lighthouse Ministries International stands out against religious and pharisaic tendencies that have held the church in its infancy for centuries. We believe in the liberty wherewith Christ has set His people free to worship Him in spirit and in truth. We are committed to helping people find direction and their place, so that they can enjoy all of God’s grace.
Our vision is to bring people into the discovery of the true God, His presence and His kingdom, incubate their destinies, transforming them into radical believers armed with truth and released to do the work of the Father.
