Mission

To build a regional cell church of Spirit empowered disciples who are transforming the Bay Area and beyond through the good news of Jesus Christ with signs, wonders and miracles.

Vision

At Lighthouse, we are excited about the future. We believe that God’s time for the Bay Area is now and we are enthusiastically ready to be a part of this outpouring of His Spirit. God has given us a vision of His light and glory flooding the Bay Area, pushing back the darkness and ushering in revival. If you are hungry for more of God, if you want to do the stuff that you read about in the Bible, if you are longing for genuine community where you can experience life together with other believers, we invite you to join us in realizing this vision:

• To Build a Regional Cell Church
  We are committed to seeing our members grounded in an ever-growing understanding of God’s unconditional love for them. We see our members, both men and women, maturing as they are equipped and trained to do the work of the ministry, reaching their full potential and destiny in God. As their gifts and abilities are identified, they begin to grow and flourish, participating in the work of the Spirit, moving powerfully in God’s anointing, and ministering effectively to others. Creativity is encouraged and those who are creative and artistic will find a safe place, in which they can learn, grow and experiment with innovative ways to worship and do the work of the ministry. By being flexible, we are open and responsive to the Holy Spirit giving new ideas and doing new things, keeping us on the cutting edge of what God is doing in His Church.

We are committed to seeing lives transformed by encountering God through:

• Worship
  Worship that is Jesus focused, Spirit anointed, Biblically grounded, exuberant, expressive, refreshing, creative, extended, intimate and permeated by the glory of the Lord.
  
• Prayer
  Prayer that is diverse in its many expressions including: intercession, warfare, deliverance, healing, impartation, petition, thanksgiving, contemplative, listening, prophetic, powerful, faith-filled, life changing, miracle producing, and leads to a deepening relationship with the Lord.
  
• Mentoring Cells
  Mentoring Cells made up of small groups of people experiencing life together in a loving, safe and fun environment in which people can learn and develop in their gifts and callings, be equipped in the Word and find wholeness and fulfillment in Jesus.
  
• Evangelistic Cells
  Evangelistic Cells creatively developed to reach the lost by meeting their spiritual needs as well as practical, emotional, recreational, or social needs.
  
• Marketplace Cells
  Marketplace Cells focused on seeing the gospel transform the business community through business people becoming Spirit-filled followers of Christ, succeeding in business through practical application of Biblical principles and flowing in the anointing of God as they see the market place as their place of ministry.
  
• Compassion Ministries
  Compassion Ministries reaching out in practical, tangible ways to the poor and needy. We see Lighthouse also networking with other ministries to effectively and comprehensively alleviate poverty and help bring justice in our region.
  
• The Sending Center
  The Sending Center where we will hold seminars, conferences, business related events, on-going classes, and short-term schools to equip and train the Body of Christ to do the work of the ministry, in local, national and international settings.
  
• The Prayer Center
  The Prayer Center where we will have a 24-hour House of Prayer, Healing Rooms, the Watch of the Lord and a place saturated by His presence where intercessors can come to fast, pray and seek the Lord for several days at a time.
  
• To Preach the Good News of Jesus Christ
  We are committed to seeing our members nourished by anointed, dynamic, life changing, practical, understandable, prophetic, biblical preaching and teaching. We see signs, wonders and miracles accompanying the preaching of the Word of God through the power of the Holy Spirit bringing multitudes of new believers into the Kingdom. As we preach the good news of Jesus, we see lives made whole, prisoners freed, the hungry fed, the poor clothed, the blind seeing, the lame walking, and those in darkness released into the light of salvation. We see revival fire spreading throughout the Bay Area, and the glory of the Lord visibly present. We see the nations touched through this outpouring of God’s Spirit.
  
• To See Signs, Wonders, and Miracles
  We are committed to having a church in which the manifestation of the work, presence and power of the Holy Spirit is welcome, anticipated and encouraged. We see our people receiving prayer for healing on every level. We see signs, wonders and miracles as a usual part of our gatherings. We see time for prayer, personal ministry and impartation consistently given. We see all of the gifts and offices given by the Holy Spirit actively, effectively and maturely exercised in our church that we “might attain to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ” (Eph. 4:11-13).
