Loving Jesus and our neighbours

Our desire is for each person to encounter the transformative love of God, and find belonging in an intentional community that is committed to practicing the way of Jesus, together in Sarnia.

ABOUT US

New to Lighthouse?

We’re so glad you’re here. Whether you are new Sarnia, new to Lighthouse, or new to church entirely, you are welcome here and we’d love to help you get connected.

Join us for our Sunday service where we gather for a time of worship through music, prayer, teaching, and coffee & connection.

We also have excellent programming for kids up to grade 5 that runs during the service, most weeks. On weeks where there isn’t kids specific programming, we make our entire service family-friendly!

A Little Bit About Us

Lighthouse Community Church exists to invite people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and others by loving God, living in community, and serving the world.

Our Values

The convictions that shape who we are and how we live.

Jesus Christ & the Gospel

  • We believe God pursues relationship with His creation
  • We believe that Jesus offers the only real hope for our freedom, healing, and restoration
  • We believe the way of Jesus leads to transformation
  • We affirm that the church is not a place but a people who are learning to love Jesus and neighbour

Community

  • We are a community of imperfect people learning to be open, honest, and authentic
  • We are family – building healthy relationships of belonging, care, and accountability
  • We are committed to loving one another

Generosity

  • We practice gratitude by acknowledging that all good gifts come from God
  • We become people overflowing with faith, hope and love, by living open-handedly
  • We believe living generously is an invitation from God and the best way to live

Service

  • We joyfully partner with God to make a difference in the world
  • We are a mission-focused community called to be salt and light in the world
  • We desire to convey the gospel locally and globally, in both word and deed
  • We believe the church is called to be a compelling force for good in the world
  • We are at our best when motivated by love, we serve, give sacrificially, and care about the things God cares about

Innovation

  • We are open to all that God has for us – relying on the Holy Spirit for direction
  • We seek God’s best
  • We lean forward with anticipation in the ‘new things’ that God is doing

Our Beliefs

Lighthouse belongs to a family of churches called the Evangelical Covenant Church of Canada. We are evangelical but not exclusive, biblical but not doctrinaire, traditional but not rigid, and congregational but not independent.

FELLOWSHIP AND FOOD

It has been said that when you read Luke’s gospel that Jesus is either going to a meal, at a meal or coming from a meal. After our service, we seek to emulate Jesus by having a time of fellowship with coffee, tea, and snacks.
