About US
Welcome to Lighthouse Community Church in Sarnia. We are a warm, welcoming community of faith committed to following Jesus and serving our neighbours. Whether you have been walking with God for years or are just beginning to explore faith, there is a place for you here.
Our Beliefs
Lighthouse Community Church belongs to a family of churches (denomination) called the Evangelical Covenant Church of Canada. In short, we are a “Covenant Church.”
What is a Covenant Church?
We are:
- Evangelical, but not exclusive
- Biblical, but not doctrinaire
- Traditional, but not rigid
- Congregational, but not independent
What does a Covenant Church believe?
We confess Jesus Christ as our Saviour and Lord, and we accept the Holy Scriptures, the Old and New Testaments, as the word of God and the only perfect rule for faith, doctrine, and conduct.
At our best, these beliefs are expressed through our six affirmations:
+
We affirm the centrality of the word of God.
+
We affirm the necessity of the new birth.
+
We affirm a commitment to the whole mission of the church.
+
We affirm the church as a fellowship of believers.
+
We affirm a conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit.
+
We affirm the reality of freedom in Christ.
