Mission
THE LIGHTHOUSE YOUTH CENTER IS A PARA-CHURCH ORGANIZATION EMBRACING THE VISION OF REACHING UNCHURCHED YOUTH WITH A RELEVANT MESSAGE OF THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST. WE WORK ON THE PREMISE THAT THE CHURCH MUST REACH OUT TO UNCHURCHED YOUTH AND THAT A GENUINE PROCLAMATION OF THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST DEMANDS A HOLISTIC APPROACH WHEN DOING SO, THUS MINISTERING TO THE PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND SPIRITUAL NEEDS OF THOSE YOUTH.
