Lighthouse Taberbnacle Church was founded on November 7, 1993.

We held our first worship service at 11 Sampson Avenue, in Great Kills,

where we continue to meet regularly.

 

We started this ministry as a Friday evening meeting in the Old Town

section of Staten Island. Before long, we grew large enough to begin holding

Sunday services in Great Kills, and we've been meeting there since 1993.

Our philosophy of ministry is that a church is not a building, but the people.

Therefore, our focus has been building up the people, helping them find new

lives in Christ and training them to follow Him as His disciples.

 

In January 2005, we purchased property on which we plan to build a

new sanctuary for our church. While we have concentrated on building

"living stones" up into a spiritual building, we believe that God will continue

to provide for us in building the external, physical structure to house our

ministry. As God leads us, we hope to occupy the new sanctuary as quickly

as possible.

 

Our ministry staff is comprised of an Associate Pastor, an Elder and four

Deacons. We follow a New Testament form of government for our church, which

requires that Eldership governs the affairs of the church, the Senior Pastor being

the presiding Elder. The Deacons administrate the ministries of the church.

Our Board of Trustees administrate over the financial and business affairs

of the ministry.

Thank you.
