Welcome To Lighthouse Church!
Sunday Morning Worship Service @ 10:30am
Welcome to our church. We are excited you are here! You’ll discover that our passion is to provide a place where people, just like you, can have a life-changing encounter and on-going relationship with God!
At Lighthouse, our doors are wide open to people from all backgrounds, regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey. We are a life-giving, spirit-filled, multi-cultural church in the Arlington Heights community in Stroud Township, and our goal is to infuse the light and life of God’s love into people and families through engaging, powerful, worship gatherings that offer biblical truth in relevant and practical ways.
Together, we’re striving to become the kind of church described in the Bible, where there’s relevant biblical teaching, heart-felt worship, honest friendships, constant prayer, and compassionate care for those in need. In short, we’d like to be followers of Christ that encourage and infuse light into the entire community, one life at a time.
So, if you are still just checking out the “church scene” and investigating the claims of Jesus Christ – thank you for allowing us to help you in your search. Or, if you are a committed Christ-follower who wants to sink the roots of your faith even deeper, you can find a home here at Lighthouse Full Gospel Church of God.

Our Vision

Our Beliefs and Values
Lighthouse Full Gospel Church of God is part of the Church of God Denomination headquartered out of Cleveland, Tennessee (www.churchofgod.org). The Church of God believes the whole Bible to be completely and equally inspired and that it is the written Word of God. The Church of God has adopted the following Declaration of Faith as its standard and official expression of its doctrine. Our values are non-negotiable characteristics of our church. They help us determine what ministries to start, where to spend our time, and so much more.
Declaration Of Faith
We believe:
- In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
- In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
- That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
- That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
- That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
- In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
- Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
- In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
- In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
- In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
- Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
- In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saints’ feet.
- In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
- In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.
