About Lighthouse Church
“When I think of the Church, I think of a lighthouse. The purpose of a lighthouse is to be a beacon of light, providing safe passage around hidden obstructions. As well as this purpose, lighthouses are one of the strongest structures known to man. They are able to withstand a constant beating from the most powerful waves. This is the perfect picture of the Church, capturing both our mission and our position. We are positioned on an unmovable foundation - even the very forces of Satan cannot prevail against us. Our mission is to shine the light of Christ into the darkness of a broken world with the good news of Jesus.”
Andrew McGruther — Senior Minister
Our Vision
We believe the local church is the hope of the world and we are committed to building it and seeing lived transformed by Jesus Christ.
Our Heart
Lighthouse exists to connect people to God and to each other. We help people to experience a God who is vibrant, joyful and powerful. He cares about you as an individual and Jesus said that He came to earth that we might have a life of abundance.
Our Journey
Our Journey began with our founding pastors, Gordon and Jo Moore, establishing our Church in the northern suburbs of Brisbane on 6th April 1986 with seven people. In November 2016, Pastors Andrew and Wendy McGruther were appointed Senior Minister of Lighthouse Church.
In 2022, we announced our new name, Lighthouse, which we feel embodies the heart of our mission, whilst remaining part of the C3 Global family.
