We would like to help you find the appropriate nurseries, classes, and service for every person in your family. Any of our ushers or greeters will gladly direct and even escort you to the right place.

Starting with excellent nurseries, there is something special for every age child from birth through college! At every service on Sunday morning there are safe, clean, and well staffed nurseries for children three years old and under. For children four years old through sixth grade there are fun, friendly, and Bible-centered classes. These classes are staffed with trained, friendly, and well-qualified teachers and helpers who will make church exciting and memorable for your child. For students seventh grade through college age, we have special teen classes. The teens will attend a Sunday School class one hour and then go to the morning worship service with their parents.

Our Sunday School starts at 10:05am. Plan to arrive a few minutes early so that we can help direct your family to the correct nurseries or classes. This will also give you some time to meet the teachers of your family's classes. The Sunday morning worship service starts at 11:00am. During the Sunday morning service there are junior church programs for children from 3 years old – 6th grade.

Pastor Wolverton teaches the main adult Sunday School class in the Auditorium. We also have a Young Couple’s Class, a college and career class, and a class for educable slow adults. We encourage all adults attend one of these Sunday School classes. These classes are smaller group settings where you are invited to meet people, enjoy perhaps some coffee and donuts, and hear a teaching lesson more directly applicable to you. The best way to get to know people at Lighthouse Baptist Church is to visit one of these adult bible classes.
Most adults follow Sunday school by attending the worship service where they enjoy the beautiful and inspiring music of the choir, ensembles, and soloists. The music is always followed by a clear, helpful, and challenging Bible message from Pastor Wolverton. This service is a little over one hour in length.

There is not a dress code at Lighthouse Baptist Church for members or guests. Our ministry leaders and many of our church family dress in more traditional “Sunday” dress; however, our main goal is that you would feel welcome and comfortable on your visit here!

Yes. We have a Sunday evening service (completely different from Sunday morning) that begins at 6:30 p.m. Again, in this service you'll enjoy the choir and special music as well as a challenging and helpful message from Pastor Wolverton. We also meet on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm for a mid-week Bible study. If you can't be our guest on Sunday morning, we hope you'll visit with us during another service time.

No. We don't invite you to Lighthouse Baptist Church for your offering. We want our service to be a gift to you. We hope you will find in this place a warm, family spirit, truth from God's Word, and a place where you can grow in God's grace. Please don't feel any obligation to participate in the offering as a guest.

If there's something we missed on this list, just give us a call, or ask someone when you arrive. Whether you're new to the area and looking for a church home, or if it's been a long time since you've attended church at all, we hope your first visit at Lighthouse Baptist Church will be awesome! We are here to serve you and your family, and we are looking forward to meeting you personally. We hope you'll feel right at home from the very first moment you arrive! Let us know how we can serve you better, and we hope to meet you this Sunday!
