SUNDAY SCHOOL
During the school year (September through May), Lighthouse hosts Sunday School classes on Sunday mornings from 9:00-10:00, offering a chance for all ages to learn from the Bible and grow together in Christ. Classes are available for adults, high-schoolers, middle-schoolers, and children in preschool-5th grade.
02
Wednesday Nights
Wednesday Nights are Family Nights! Please join us for dinner at 5:15pm, and classes for all ages at 6:15 pm! High School: if you are able to replace our Youth Ministry Director from Justin Johnson to Kaleb Sall (kalebsall@lighthouse-ministries.org)
03
Nursery
Nursery service is available for infants and toddlers during Sunday School and Sunday morning Worship. It includes supervision from fully-vetted volunteers, safe snacks, and age-appropriate activities. And don't worry--we're happy to text you if your little one needs you during the service!
04
Little Lambs
We know it can be hard for little ones to sit through a worship service. That's why we offer a dedicated class for 2-4 year olds, so they can enjoy a Bible story, snacks, and playtime during the sermon. Like all our volunteers, our Little Lambs coordinators have passed rigorous background checks so you can be confident your toddlers are safe and cared for.
05
Children's Worship
After the worship portion of the Sunday morning service, children in preschool-2nd grade are dismissed to their own class time. This includes worship, Bible stories and activities designed to engage the kids' minds and hearts.
06
Middle School
Middle School Youth grades 6th, 7th, & 8th are invited to join their friends and siblings in Christ for fun events and activities, including Sunday School classes and weekly meetings with small group time. Middle schoolers can also participate in the yearly Youth Winter Retreat - a high-energy weekend of snow, food, fun, song, and spiritual growth. Middle School Weekly Meetings are currently held on Wednesday nights at 6:30 pm in the Youth Room (September-May).
07
High School
The High School Youth Ministry encourages young men and women to grow in Christ as they grow toward adulthood. We do that through various events, groups, and ministry opportunities, such as Sunday School classes (during the school year), weekly meetings with small group time, and our yearly Youth Winter Retreat for middle and high school students. We are always looking to provide opportunities for our youth to serve both in the congregation and other mission opportunities. This group can also take part in mission trips as we seek to offer those annually, an experience where they grow in their love for others and their relationship with Christ. Contact our Youth Ministry Director Justin Johnson (justin@lighthouse-ministries.org)to find out what this year's trip will be! High School Weekly Meetings are currently held Wednesday nights at 6:30 pm in the Youth Room (September-May)
08
Adults
We believe growing in Christ is best done together. That's why Lighthouse offers a wide variety of Biblically-centered studies, and classes. Whether you're a young or mature adult, single or married, male or female, there's a Bible study or a class that would love to have your unique perspective. Studies/classes meet in various rooms and times, based on the needs of the class size. Contact us to learn more about Adult Discipleship today!
CLASSES
01
Wednesday Night Adult Classes
September 16 - December 2, 6:30pm
Christian Worldview: Our world is changing at a frightening pace. We're bombarded daily with messages of change in technology, politics, science, medicine, and culture, not all of them true, not all positive by any means. How do we process everything that's thrown at us? How do we make sense of the world? The answer is that we, and everyone else, filter everything through our worldview. In this class, we will learn to articulate the Christian worldview of life, as well as examine other common worldviews to solidify our own faith and better communicate it to others. Financial Peace University: FPU is a personal finance course that focuses on budgeting, eliminating debt, and building wealth using biblical principles. The course is primarily structured around these seven foundational "Baby Steps": 1) Save $1,000 for a starter emergency fund. 2) Pay off all debt (except the house) using the debt snowball method. 3) Save 3-6 months of expenses in a fully funded emergency fund. 4) Invest 15% of household income into retirement. 5) Save for children's college funds. 6) Pay off the home mortgage. 7) Build wealth and give. This class requires attendees to purchase a $99 per couple kit. If this would prevent you from taking the course, please see an Elder.

Sunday Classes
September 13 - December 13, 9:00am
Answers in Genesis: This several year curriculum is designed for adults and will work in tandem with kids K-8th. 'Answers in Genesis' is a chronological/historical study of the Bible. Here are a few of the key concepts of this class: the Bible is Trustworthy; Apologetics; God's Redemptive Plan; God's Attributes; and Life Application. But God: If you begin your testimony each day with, 'I know God is with me, but..." and then dwell on the "bad" things, the negative things that you are seeing or experiencing in your life, then that's where your mind and heart will be STUCK! BUT, if you will say and believe, "I'm going through some trials, some struggles, some suffering right now (or maybe even persecution, or loss, or any number of other difficult things)...BUT GOD is with me and I know He will give me strength and endurance to face whatever lies ahead and to overcome because He really IS good...ALL the time..and He really IS faithful!!" ...If you can SAY that and MEAN it, then you will discover the secret of living the "abundant life" Jesus promised to His true disciples. Creeds, Confessions & Catechisms: Why study these ancient documents? Let me give you two reasons. First, because the Holy Spirit has been illuminating the minds of believers for thousands of years as they've pored over God's written revelation. We would be foolish to ignore what they have learned! Second, because these texts can ground you deeply in the truth. Though not divinely inspired and therefore subject to Scripture, the ancient creeds, confessions, and catechisms articulate truth succinctly and helpfully, so there is much spiritual profit to be had!

Women’s Classes
Beginning September 8 & 9
Now That’s a Good Question (Tuesday Evenings, 6:30pm): Addressing doctrinal points and contemporary issues such as euthanasia, evolution, and abortion. Sproul covers frequently asked questions in a personable, easy-to-read style that's perfect for the layperson. Combining wisdom, practicality, wit, and a serious approach to reformed theology, this study provides trusted answers. The Beatitudes (Wednesday mornings, 9:30am) The beatitudes reveal to us eight qualities that bring God's blessing: meekness and mercy, poorness in spirit and unity of heart, mourning and hunger, peacemaking and persecution. Jesus highlighted these to offer both encouragement and instruction for living distinctly as His followers in a world whose values differ greatly from God's. As we study these qualities and integrate them into our lives, we will receive the blessing Jesus promised to His followers then and now.
