Our 12 Core Values
The core values of The Lighthouse Church are:
- God is love and we are called to love one another.
Love must be the motivation behind all our relationships and every
aspect of our church life
- The Lighthouse church is an Anglican Fresh Expression Church
and belongs to Jesus Christ. God is placed at the centre
of everything we do as we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit
- Every believer has a purpose in God. We seek to
encourage everyone, (men, women and children), to seek after and grasp
their God-given purpose and to discover and develop their natural
abilities and spiritual gifting
- God cares for the lost. The church must therefore
reach out to the community with the gospel of Jesus Christ of repentance,
love, forgiveness of sins and baptism
- The Bible is the inspired word of God. We believe
the scriptures are at the heart of all we do and are essential for
right direction, judgement, personal growth and transformation
- God delights to be in relationship with us. Being
intimate with God through Spirit-filled prayer and worship is an important
aspect of our church life
- We seek to be a praising and worshipping community.
Worshipping the lord in Spirit and in truth is at the heart of obedience
to the Lord and following His ways
- Prayer. Prayer life is vital to everything we do.
We seek to move in a journey of deepening prayer and intercession
which covers everything we do
- Prayer ministry releases the power of God's Spirit into
people's lives, especially for the sick and broken-hearted.
We therefore place a high priority on receiving prayer and praying
for others in our meetings and gatherings
- Fellowship and relationship building is a vital
part of the life of our church.
- Families are precious to God. We are a family friendly
church in which the ministry offered to our children and youth is
regarded as essential and as important as that offered to the adults.
- Children are a key focus of our ministry. We are
committed to God to raise our children to become spirit-filled, bible
believing men and women of God who are wholly obedient to God
