ABOUT US
Lighthouse Grace Church is an organisation connected to the whole Body of Christ and affiliated with UNITED COVENANT CHURCHES OF CHRIST Inc. USA
Our primary Goal is to Represent Jesus and His Kingdom here on Earth, to extend the Love of God towards all people and to give hope to those that have no hope. We preach the good tidings to the poor, bring healing to the broken-hearted, proclaim liberty to the captive, open the prison of those who are bound, proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
(Isaiah 61: 1-3) and also to bring the body of believers together to worship the King of Kings.
We also believe that Community work is very important and we encourage our church to engage in genuine fellowship with each other and to receive those around us with open arms. Our ministry is not a ministry of condemnation, because God gave us the ministry of reconciliation.

A CHURCH with only one Head which is Jesus Christ and everyone as a member of His Body. A CHURCH that has a mandate for the end times. Impacting the Local and International Community. A CHURCH that raises up Champions and leaders, ready to be part of the coming Harvest. A CHURCH that learns how to worship the Lord, preparing a platform for the Holy Spirit to Lift Up The name of Jesus in worship. A CHURCH big enough to have worldwide IMPACT but small enough to Care for everyone that walks through its doors.
We believe that God called us to be:
A CHURCH with a mandate to " SET THE CAPTIVE FREE". A CHURCH with great compassion for the oppressed, the orphans, widows and sick. A place where we care for the wounded ones. A place of restoration. A place of healing. A place that has its doors open to everyone. A CHURCH that a fathers heart will be turned to his children.

A CHURCH that will have revelation on the WORD OF GOD with power to change lives. Preaching the word without apologies and without partiality. Training and equipping preachers for the great harvest.
