Lewisville Lighthouse is happy to welcome anyone and everyone. It is our hope that you will feel warmly welcomed here with us.

There are 3 ways to join our church.

1. Profession of Faith and Baptism. This is when a person is making their first public, adult profession of faith in Christ as Lord and Savior.   This does not necessarily mean that you are just becoming a believer at the time, but that you are now making your decision public, requesting baptism and membership.
2. Transfer of Letter. This is just a fancy way of saying that you are already a member of another church, and are simply wanting to move your membership to our church. We understand and recognize that not all churches have “membership” and that you may just simply be joining our church without an official transfer.
3. Statement of Christian Experience. This option is for those who are neither making a first-time profession of faith or coming from another church. New members in this category are simply saying, “I’m not a new Christian, and I don’t have a current church membership but I want to be a member of this church.”

There are several very important reasons to become a member as opposed to being a regular attendee.

1. It can be a very meaningful time in which you and the congregation make a commitment to each other.  It’s very meaningful for the congregation to officially accept someone new into the family, and it’s usually meaningful for the individual to be the recipient of this acceptance and affirmation.  Of course, if you are making a first-time profession of faith, your public baptism is an extremely important time for you, your family, and the church.
2. You will come under the pastoral care of this church.  You will receive our communications, and part of our commitment to you is that we will do everything possible to support you in your time of emotional, spiritual, or financial need.
3. Joining is an important “rite of passage” that signifies your entrance into our church, and allows our congregation to welcome you in a more intimate and  appropriate manner.

The pastor will present you to the membership during a worship service and have the congregation affirm your petition to join.  The pastor will then request that you fill out a simple form with your demographic information.

Yes. We do require that you affirm your belief, faith, and commitment to following Christ and His teachings. We also ask that you review and agree to our Constitution and ByLaws.

If you are making a first-time profession of faith, then YES. We believe that baptism is an integral part of that decision.

However, we do not ask or require anyone to be “re-baptized” in our church if you have had a previous baptism.

Yes.  Lewisville Lighthouse, its programs and staff, are supported solely by our membership.  We have no other income for our annual budget.  Your regular financial support as a member is crucial to the church, as well as being a very biblical way of showing your commitment to Christ and His Church.  Malachi 3:10 says, “’Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house…[and I will] throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it."

We encourage every new member to attend Sunday morning and Wednesday night services and to find a ministry or program to get involved with in the church. The Leadership  Board may request that serve on various committees or some other capacity. You will find your Christian walk and membership here much more fulfilling if you establish healthy, Christian relationships and if you find a place where you can use your God-given gifts to build up His Church and support our ministries.

Set up an appointment with our Pastor.  This will give him the opportunity to sit down and talk visit with you one on one, get to know more about you, and answer any questions that you may have. He will then ask you to review and agree to uphold our Constitution and ByLaws before confirming a date to bring you before the congregation to affirm and acceptance your petition for membership.
