About us

History

Lighthouse Baptist Church was founded in October, 2001, by the Rev. Don Griffith, from South Carolina. Don, along with his wife Rita and their daughter Bettie began holding services with a small group of fellow-Christians in the Abergele Youth & Community Centre. Their desire was to establish a church that would preach the gospel and put the focus on Bible teaching. Don remained as the pastor for three and a half years, before returning to the States with his family in the Spring of 2005, due to poor health.

Pastor

Joe Nicholson came to Lighthouse Baptist Church in April, 2006, to fill the role of pastor. His desire is to see people's lives changed through the power of God's Word. Joe and his wife Abbie have five children.

Our Vision

We believe that Christ is the Head of the Church, the members of which are His body, purchased by His own blood and designed for the purpose of showing God's glory in the world and making disciples of Jesus Christ from all nations.

Therefore, we are committed to: the centrality of the Bible, the Word of God, as our authority in every aspect of life and ministry; the building up of believers (the members of Christ's body) in love that they might attain the maturity of Christlikeness; the spread of the gospel, which is the good news of Christ's kingdom; submission to qualified leaders within the local church, which are Christ's under shepherds; mutual submission and commitment to other believers in the context of a local church.
