Our Mission & Vision
Those who have been part of the Lighthouse family for a while, as well as those who may be relatively new to Lighthouse, know that at the heart of the ministry of Lighthouse Community Church Nondenominational lies the desire to be faithful to God by proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our vision statement declares,
“We exist to proclaim the reign of Jesus Christ over all things; glorifying and enjoying God, now and forever!”
Because Jesus Christ is Lord, it is our mission and calling to make disciples of Jesus Christ as we live as disciples of Jesus Christ, revealing His Lordship over our lives and calling others to know, to love, and to serve Him.
Our Identity & Beliefs
In all things and at all times, we thank our Father in heaven for His love and grace to His people and to us as a part of Christ's Body, the Church. While it is our desire to be faithful in all things, we know we are not the “perfect church.” We do believe, however, that those in whom the Spirit of God is working are searching for spiritual food, for truth that doesn’t change with each new idea about “God” or the latest spiritual “fad” or insight.
You can read our Statement of Belief and find out that we are a “Reformation” church, a body of believers who stand on the unchanging truth of God's Word as revealed in the Bible. We know that there is but one message that has been entrusted to the Church to proclaim to the world for the salvation of all who believe, and that one message is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the one and only Savior and Mediator between God and man.
Our Story
Lighthouse Community Church Nondenominational was formerly First Reformed Church in Allendale, located on the corner of 60th Ave. and Lake Michigan Drive for more than 90 years.
Early in this new century, God began to stir the leadership and the congregation toward a deeper commitment to reaching out to the world around us while at the same time standing squarely on the truth of God’s Word.
Believing that God was moving us to understand our identity in Christ as new creations through the work of His Spirit, First Reformed Church became Lighthouse Community Church, and a new building was erected as a mission base to reach out to the community of Allendale and West Michigan.
God began to gather a people for Himself from various life backgrounds and spiritual journeys. As we grew together around the Word of God, we found our oneness in the truth God has revealed through His Word and in His Son Jesus Christ. The Spirit of God made us ONE and continues to do so today.
