Visiting LBC (FAQ)

• What Should I Bring?

  A heart that is ready to worship and to hear a message from the Living God, through His Word, the Bible.  If you do not have a Bible, don't worry, one will be provided for you to use during your visit.

• Which Bible Should I Bring?

  Perhaps you have noticed that there are several translations available today. It can be confusing to know which one to use. At Lighthouse Baptist Church we use the King James (1611, authorized) Version. We hold it to be the only true, inspired and preserved English Bible. If you do not have one of these Bibles, don't worry, we have plenty to share and one will be provided for you during your visit.

• Is Childcare Available?

  A nursery is provided for each service where one of our kind church ladies will lovingly care for your child while you are enjoying the worship, teaching and preaching.

• What About Services For The Hearing Impaired?

  LBC has been blessed with an interpreter that will be happy to interpret each church service for the deaf.

• Are There Separate Services For Children?

  During Sunday mornings, each child will have Sunday school at 10 am where they will go to their classes and enjoy an age appropriate Bible lesson. We then gather together for the Sunday morning 11 am service where we sing praises to the Lord, have announcements, and then we dismiss the children 11 and under where they go back to Jr. Church and enjoy a children’s service with snacks and games.

  We also have a mid-week children's service Wednesday nights at 7:00 pm. Children ages 4 - 11 get another opportunity to have an age appropriate Bible lesson, sing songs and play games.

• What Are Your Services Like?

  LBC is unashamedly traditional in our worship and preaching. By that we mean we sing the hymns of the faith about the book and the blood! We stand firm on God's Word and are not afraid to preach the Bible! We are not a charismatic church and we do not allow for tongues or other non-biblical practices associated with the charismatic movement.

• Who Is Welcome To Come?

  Everyone! LBC is only concerned about one thing: helping every person we possibly can to deepen their relationship with God. That being said, we are not an exclusive or highbrow church. We love every one regardless of economic, social or racial circumstance. We hope well see you soon as you search for a church home. If we can help you in any way, don't hesitate to contact us.

• Can I become a member of Lighthouse Baptist Church?

  Come visit us and speak to our Pastor for more information!!

   

  Any person, who is saved and baptized in a church of like faith, is eligible for transfer membership. Any person who has received Christ but not been baptized in a church of like faith may be baptized into our membership. The method of transfer is by letter where we contact your previous church and request a letter testifying to your good standing. In some cases a "statement of faith", testifying to your conversion and baptism may be offered. Upon demonstrating his intention for membership, the church will publicly welcome the new member candidate in a service, officially commencing his membership.

• What Is An Invitation?

  At the end of each service, following the preaching, an invitation or altar call is given. This is a private time where people are offered an opportunity to receive Christ or make other decisions. When the congregation is instructed to rise, with their eyes closed and heads bowed, the instruments will gently be playing. At this time anyone can walk to the front of the auditorium, where the pastor or another preacher will greet you privately. He will assist you and if private prayer is needed he will appoint one of our ladies to work with ladies and men with men. These Christians will help you with whatever your need is. If you desire, you may pray at our altar without speaking to anyone.

• What Should I Wear?

  One of the most commonly asked questions we receive is: What should I wear to church? Most of our people dress in Sunday Best clothes. Men often wear suits and nearly all of our ladies wear dresses. Although there is no dress code we ask you to be modest when visiting Lighthouse Baptist Church.
