What We Support

Lighthouse Church desires to make a lasting difference in individuals, our community, and around the world.  We are passionate about demonstrating God’s love to others.  It is our desire to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ.  Everything we do bears this central purpose.

 

We believe that relationships, love, and good deeds are essential in reaching out to effectively communicate the message of Christ to our world.  We build on the strengths God has given each of us.  Lighthouse partners with community organizations, local churches, and focuses on global opportunities on 6 continents.

 

We believe that communities won’t be changed by programs, but by relationships developed among the people within that community.  Our strategy for ministering is to build and support relationships that inspire lasting change.  We connect with others locally through various opportunities within our community.  We can accomplish more together than apart.  Consider how you can direct your passion, experiences, and resources to bring real, lasting change to our community and around the world.

In Our Community...

Prison Services:  Our local prisons are full of people in desperate need of forgiveness and restoration to God and to others.  We believe that we are called to minister to prisoners through a monthly prison service inside our local prison.  Because of Christ, there is hope and new life for us all--no exceptions.  For more information, contact Pastor Kevin Brown @ pastorkevin65@comcast.net

Every-Day Compassion:  Many local food banks in our area are well-established and are already very efficient at serving our communities. Instead of spinning our own, we choose to partner with other food banks to reach those in immediate need of food and emergency supplies.  For more information, contact Grant Leonhard @ lighthouse.harrisburg@gmail.com

 

Nursing Home Relationships:  We have opportunities to build relationships with people in the winter of their lives.  Time is one of our most valuable commodities.  We seek to comfort and encourage others, using our time in a positive, lasting way.  Contact Teresa Martz for more information @ lighthouse.harrisburg@gmail.com

 

We Partner With...

Bethesda Mission:  We partner with the relief and restorative work of the Bethesda Mission.  The Bethesda Mission provides immediate assistance, Hope, and resources to hungry and homeless people in the Greater Harrisburg area.  For more information, contact Teresa Martz @ lighthouse.harrisburg@gmail.com

Morning Star Pregnancy Services:  We partner with the restorative work that Morning Star Pregnancy Services offer.  They bring Hope and healing to women and families at major crossroads in their lives.  We believe that every life is valuable and sacred.  We partner through year-round volunteering, giving, and participation in their annual Walk For Life.  For more information, contact Donna Brown @ lighthouse.harrisburg@gmail.com

Operation Christmas Child:  Since 1993, more than 100 million boys and girls in over 130 countries have experienced God’s love through the power of simple shoebox gifts from Operation Christmas Child. We partner with Samaritan’s Purse to deliver gifts and share the life-changing good news of Jesus Christ.  Contact Donna Brown for more information @ lighthouse.harrisburg@gmail.com

Orphan Sunday:  We believe that God places the lonely in families—our families.  Lighthouse prays for, wraps around, and supports those members who have adopted each year.  We are a people called to defend the fatherless…to care for the child that has no family…to visit orphans in their distress.  We desire God’s great love for the orphan to find echo in our lives as well.  For more information, please contact Donna Brown @ lighthouse.harrisburg@gmail.com

Renew Ministries:  After years of working with people through different recovery venues such as divorce recovery and various 12-step groups, Robin Gilbert Luftig founded Renew Ministries in 2009 with the purpose of sharing God's plan for healing to spiritually and emotionally broken women.  Renew Ministries is devoted to investing in the spiritual lives of those who want to heal from the pain that comes with brokenness.  For more information, please contact Robin at robin@robinluftig.com

The Persecuted Church:  We join in praying for Christians worldwide throughout the year, as well as specifically on International Day of Prayer.  This is a time set apart for us to remember thousands of our Christian brothers and sisters around the world who suffer persecution, simply because they confess Jesus Christ as Lord.  Daily reminders and prayer points are available throughout the year.  For more information, contact Lachelle Brown @ lighthouse.harrisburg@gmail.com

Global Partners in Peace & Development:  We have had many opportunities to partner with this upstanding organization and we share their values and heart for the things of God--the dignity of human life, the orphaned, the widowed, the starving, the thirsty, the homeless, the refugees, the suffering, the unreached, the abandoned and the oppressed.  Global Patners is strategic about where they go and who they partner with. They  share and show God's love by partnering, housing, teaching, feeding, giving drink to, building, creating, training, caring for and speaking life.  For more information, please visit their site at www.gpartners.org

Events & Trips...

Community Events: Throughout the summer, we host and sponsor several events in an effort to build relationships and reach our community with the love of Jesus.  Those events include a community picnics, summer Bible School, and Family Activity nights.  As the months draw near, specific information will be given.  Check our announcements or contact Donna Brown with questions @ lighthouse.harrisburg@gmail.com

Disaster Relief Trips:  Whether from natural disasters or poverty, there are communities in great need within our reach.  We have partnered in short-term relief trips with communities from Ohio, West Virginia, Buloxi, Mississippi, and several to Port-au-Prince, Haiti.  For more information, please contact Pastor Kevin Brown @ pastorkevin65@comcast.net. Visit our recap page from the most recent trip of sharing and showing God's love here>  Recapping Team Haiti 2014

Walking Program: Our passion is to reach hurting people with Christ's message of hope.  This walking program is comprised of individuals that walk in their own neighborhoods with purpose. While walking, place door hangers at homes within your neighborhood. These are non-confrontational opportunities for people in our community to make follow-up contacts when they are comfortable doing so—or they can simply discard them. 

Anyone can be a part by walking outdoors in your own neighborhood, on your own schedule, at your own pace, whenever you like. Our desire is to compel those without Christ to come and find forgiveness, healing, hope, & community. See Donna Brown with questions and for invite cards, or contact her @ lighthouse.harrisburg@gmail.com
