LIFE means Living In Faith Every day! Our LIFE Groups are small, weekly gatherings where we grow together, learn together, and serve together. Currently, we have groups meeting almost every day of the week, so this is a great place to get connected. LIFE is better with Jesus and the encouragement of others in a LIFE Group!
The month-long summer program runs Monday through Friday, 5 hours a day and provides a curriculum that includes academics modified to each child's individual level, field trips for motivation and reinforcement of skills, organized outdoor activities for gross motor and team development, arts and crafts for fine motor skills, music therapy, speech therapy, and daily work in a computer lab.
GriefShare is all new this year!! So even if you have come before feel free to join us once again. GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. No one has to go through the grieving process alone. This 12 week video-based study is offered twice a year and is open to the community.

All people are deeply valued at Lighthouse UMC! When our members have given their lives to Christ and to the church, and when health, age, and other factors prevent them from coming to us, we go to them! Our visitation team work with our pastors to assure that all the church is cared for.
Prayer Shawls
Visitation Team
This faithful group knits together prayer shawls for the varying seasons of life, celebrations and difficulties. Each shawl carries with it the prayers of the church and a reminder that we are wrapped in the love of God!
Lighthouse UMC is proud to sponsor pilgrims on the Walk to Emmaus every year. The objective of Emmaus is to inspire, challenge, and equip the local church members for Christian action in their homes, churches, communities, and places of work. Emmaus lifts up a way for our grace-filled lives to be lived and shared with others.
