Evangelism and Missions
Lighthouse’s mission statement is “To worship God through fulfilling the Great Commission in the Spirit of the Great Commandment.” Part of the mission statement is taken from Matthew 28:18-20 that speaks about Jesus commissioning His disciples to go out into the world to spread the Good News. Simply put, evangelism is sharing the gospel clearly with the intent that the person or persons will turn away from their rebellion and turn to Jesus Christ to be their Lord and Savior.
Lighthouse’s Evangelism Ministry is built around three areas. These three areas all have its end goal of bringing God glory through His people lovingly obeying Him and His commands.
- The first area the ministry will target are believers and their hearts. Heart change within a believer must happen first in order for a person to be used to share the gospel.
- The second area this ministry will focus on is equipping. The church is to equip the believers in how they are to go out and share the gospel with others.
- And the third area this ministry will work on is giving believers opportunities to share the gospel with others. This will be accomplished by having events that bring family and neighbors into the church, by going out into the community by sharing God’s love through the gospel, and sending out believers around the world.
Here at Lighthouse, every believer is called to be a messenger of the gospel. It is not just those who are leaders, but every follower of Jesus. Our hope is that the light of Christ will shine in our lives to those in the South Bay!
