Our Purpose

Love God. Grow Together.
Serve Others. Reach the World.

To glorify God by loving Him, growing together in His Word, serving others, and making disciples in Milwaukee and around the world.

Love God

We respond to God’s love with wholehearted worship, prayer, obedience, and a personal walk with Jesus Christ. Our gathered services help us hear His Word and respond in faith.

Mark 12:30

Grow Together

We grow as a church family through Bible teaching, fellowship, prayer, and personal discipleship. We seek spiritual maturity that shapes our homes, relationships, and everyday decisions.

Acts 2:42

Serve Others

Every believer has gifts to steward. We help people find a faithful, appropriate place of ministry and care for one another with humility, compassion, and practical love.

1 Peter 4:10

Reach the World

We share the gospel, baptize believers, and teach them to follow Christ. Our responsibility begins with our Milwaukee neighbors and extends through missions and church planting to the nations.

Matthew 28:19–20

THE VISION WE PURSUE

A Christ-centered church family, rooted in Milwaukee, growing in biblical faith and carrying the Gospel from our neighborhood to the nations.

THREE TO THRIVE

A simple rhythm.
A growing faith.

Grow in your walk with Christ, put your gifts to work, and share life with others.

Sit in His presence.

Worship. Listen. Grow.

Gather faithfully for worship and biblical teaching. Make room to listen, pray, learn, and respond. Begin with Sunday Worship and grow through Sunday School, prayer meeting, and personal discipleship.

Hebrews 10:24–25; Acts 2:42

Serve in ministry.

Put your gifts to work

Find a consistent place to help in the life of the church. Serve with humility, training, and accountability in a ministry suited to your gifts and biblical qualifications.

1 Peter 4:10

Share life in community.

Build relationships. Share the hope of Christ.

Walk alongside your church family and neighbors. Share meals, encouragement, and prayer. Invite someone into community, speak of Christ, and take part in soul-winning as we carry the gospel into everyday life.

Acts 2:42–47; Matthew 28:19–20

OUR MINISTRY PHILOSOPHY

Convictions that shape
the way we serve.

Scripture directs us

The Bible is our final authority for belief and practice. We aim to understand it in context, teach it clearly, and obey it faithfully. Our church uses the King James Bible.

2 Timothy 3:16–17
Christ is central

We proclaim Jesus Christ—His person, His saving work, and His lordship. We seek His glory rather than drawing attention to ourselves.

Colossians 1:18
The Gospel moves us outward

Personal soul-winning, invitations, community relationships, and missions are expressions of our responsibility to make disciples. Lighthouse Christian Radio carries biblical teaching and Christ-honoring music beyond our building.

Matthew 28:19–20; Acts 1:8
Growth happens together

Worship, Sunday School, prayer, personal Bible reading, and discipleship work together to cultivate spiritual maturity. We encourage consistent participation and caring relationships.

Acts 2:42; Hebrews 10:24–25
Every believer has a ministry

We help members steward their gifts with preparation, accountability, and teamwork. Ministry assignments reflect spiritual maturity, biblical qualifications, and the needs of the church. Those serving children must meet the church’s screening requirements.

1 Peter 4:10
Love shapes our conduct

We seek to speak graciously, pray for one another, help in sickness and distress, and pursue reconciliation. We show kindness to neighbors, guests, and those who disagree with us.

John 13:34–35; 2 Timothy 2:24–26
Our city is a field for ministry

We are rooted on Milwaukee’s south side, near Bay View. We seek to know our neighbors, strengthen families, and bring the hope of Christ into everyday urban life.

Acts 1:8
Faithfulness guides our methods

We serve prayerfully, steward resources carefully, and use clear, thoughtful communication. Technology supports worship, discipleship, and outreach while the Word of God remains our authority.

1 Corinthians 14:40; 1 Peter 4:10
