LightHouse Messianic Fellowship
Leadership
As you have read in our About Us section, this congregation was formed by three like-minded home churches coming together in one accord, and for that reason we have three pastors. Not only did this bring the groups together seemlessly, it added a level of accountability and a unified front of leadership that has work well for our community. Each of the pastors has a very different backgroud, bringing a well-rounded aspect of leadership to the assembly that is used to serve a wide range of believers.
One characteristic of each pastor is that they all have a heart to serve people and help raise up a community of beleivers that walks like our Messiah walked, and they each have a true open-door policy for anyone that is in need. It is for that reason that the title of pastor was chosen for each. Read up on each pastor below.
