Lighthouse Christian Church

What Lighthouse Christian Church does

Lighthouse Christian Church is a non-denominational, Spirit-filled Christian congregation founded in 1926 and headquartered at 401 S. National Ave., Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. It operates a single 600+ seat sanctuary campus with an attached kids wing, full gymnasium, and Lighthouse Cafe, and runs a portfolio of in-person and livestreamed ministries: Sunday worship services (10am and 6pm), age-based discipleship programs (Lighthouse Kids, Ignite Youth, Young Adults), Life Groups for adult Bible study, Good Soil inner-healing ministry, and a community food pantry open Tuesdays and Thursdays with no eligibility requirements. The church also operates Hope Counseling, a fee-for-service licensed professional Christian counseling practice (MA/LPC) offering CBT, DBT, trauma-informed, and solution-focused therapy on a sliding scale that does not accept insurance.

The organization's underlying technology stack is modest and consumer-grade: a Wix-hosted website, the Church Center SaaS platform for online giving, event registration, forms, and people management, and Stripe for payment processing. Distribution spans a single domestic campus for in-person engagement, with global reach delivered indirectly through financial and prayer support of approximately seven missionary partnerships — including YWAM teams in Montana and SE Asia, church-planting efforts in Ghana and France, and 56+ churches constructed in the Dominican Republic via Every Day Ministries. Lighthouse is a core partner within the Fellowship of Christian Assemblies (FCA) network and is contracted to host the FCA 'Hosting His Presence' Conference in 2027.

Revenue is generated across seven distinct streams: recurring tithes and offerings, designated capital expansion gifts, food pantry donations, Care Portal community giving, recurring Faith Promise missions commitments, general ministries contributions, and professional services fees from Hope Counseling. Pricing for Hope Counseling is transparent and bifurcated by affiliation (members pay $30–$60 per session; community members pay $40–$80; military/first responders receive a 50% discount). The church reports 1–10 employees, has no subsidiaries, no parent company, no funding rounds, and is governed independently under Wisconsin nonprofit jurisdiction with affiliation (not ownership) by FCA.
