About Us

Who We Are

Gospel Lighthouse Church was founded in 1995 by senior pastor Raymond Christiansen and assistant pastor, Joseph Schimanski.

We are a multi-cultural, family-friendly, growing church. We don’t care how you dress if you have tattoos, or who you voted for. We are a church of broken people loved by a perfect God. Striving to make a difference in our families and community, and we are saving a seat for you.

GLH believes the church is not a building, but a people. We are the church. In order to fulfill the great commission in Matthew 28: 19-20, we must work as a team.

At Gospel Lighthouse Church, we are seeking to reach the who so ever with the truth of the gospel. It begins with a relationship with Jesus and understanding the message of the Bible: Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father but by Him (John 14:6). Our church exists to proclaim that simple but life-changing message to anyone who will listen.

What we believe

We believe that the gospel is the center of faith and life, so what is the gospel? It is THE GOOD NEWS about what God has done through Jesus. God not only created the world, but since humankind has fallen out of right relationship with Him, He has brought salvation to us through the death and resurrection of our savior Jesus Christ The Bible considers this message about what Jesus has done as the foundation for Christian faith (see 1 Corinthians 15:1-5), and so do we.

1 Corinthians 15 New International Version (NIV)
15 1Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas,[b] and then to the Twelve.
