Mission & Vision

The mission of Lighthouse Bible Church is the same mission Jesus gave his followers: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. 

The vision of Lighthouse Bible Church is create a community of authentic believers and to witness a city transformed by the life changing reality of the gospel, as people come to know Jesus as their lord and savior. 

At Lighthouse Bible Church we desire to reach the town of Vinton and Roanoke area with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Our desire is to preach the Word of God without compromise, standing firm upon the Word of God to give us answers for the modern-day issues that we face with no desire to be politically correct. Our music is contemporary. Our message is challenging. Our God is the Champion that wins in the end.

We at Lighthouse Bible Church believe in the inerrancy of Scripture, the triune God- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ died as a substitute for sinners and that individuals are saved from the judgment of their sins by exercising personal faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit in leading the lost to the Savior and empowering believers to reflect a lifestyle that is pleasing to God. We believe in the Rapture of the Church, the Second Coming of Christ and the Eternal Security of the believer. Click here to read more about our Statement of Faith.

We envision training our own congregation to confidently share the Gospel in various settings and to a variety of people. We envision training our congregation to effectively help believers to mature in Christ. We envision multitudes of new believers becoming committed members of Lighthouse Bible Church. We envision spreading the teaching of God’s Word in the community through Life Groups. We envision a congregation mobilized to serve the needs of others. We envision an ever-expanding missions outreach around the world through winning people to Christ, building them up in the Lord and sending them out to reach the part of the world in which the Lord plants them.

God has built into every cell of every living organism a blueprint for reproduction. DNA determines what an organism will be like and how it will reproduce. In fact, an organism can always be identified by its DNA. The same is true of Lighthouse Bible Church. Win, Build, Send is the DNA found in every movement of spiritual multiplication.

Therefore, Win, Build, Send provides the blueprint for our reproduction, making it possible to help advance the gospel throughout the Vinton area and unto the world to every child, student and adult. It is through Win, Build, Send that we will see God raise an ever-growing number of people who are changing, sharing, leading and owning the ministry.

We want to model and communicate the Christ-centered life by helping others understand, experience, and pass on the foundational concepts for Christian living. At the foundational level, we are always building Christ-centered disciples in:

• Assurance of salvation [1 John 5:11-13]
• God’s love and forgiveness [1 John 1:5-2:2]
• Filling of the Spirit [Ephesians 3:16, 17; 5:18]
• Walking in Spirit [Galatians 5:16-26]
• Prayer [Luke 11:1-13]
• The Word [2 Timothy 3:16, 17; Hebrews 4:12]
• Fellowship [Acts 2:42-47; Hebrews 10:24-25]
• Witness [Acts 1:8; Colossians 4:2-6]
• Complete Surrender [Mark 8:34-38; Romans 12;1, 2]
