PASTOR'S PAGE
Welcome to our website. My wife Julie and I are very excited to announce the start of a brand new Pentecostal church - Lighthouse Worship Center! This is our second church plant in Denver, and we are happy to serve in the South Suburban area.
As Pentecostals, we experience the joy of the Holy Ghost on a daily basis (1 Peter 1:6-9; Nehemian 8:10; James 1:2), and especially when we come together in corporate worship (Psalm 122:1; Acts 8:8).
Pentecost was not founded by men, but by the Lord Jesus Christ himself, who commanded his followers to tarry for the promise of the Father, which would endue them with power (Acts 1:4, 5, 8). Power to heal, power to deliver, power to save and power to lead and guide into all truth is available for every believer. Pentecost offers a Biblical, born-again plan of salvation (Acts 2:1-4, 38; Acts 8:16-17, 22; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-6, Romans 6:3-4; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11).
Pentecost is not about following man-made traditions, or being religious. It is also not, by definition, a religious organization or denomination, but instead a spiritual harvest of the souls of men.
I'd like to personally invite you to join us in worship and hearing the Word of the Lord.
Please send us your prayer requests or call on us if we can be of any assistance. Thanks for visiting our website and we hope to see you in service with us soon.
God bless you!
