Offering Hope – Sharing Jesus
Lighthouse Baptist Church meets at 9:30am on Sunday mornings at 19 Government Rd, Nelson Bay
We want to warmly welcome you. At Lighthouse Baptist church we are about "Offering Hope by Sharing Jesus".
We are passionate about loving God and sharing the joy that Jesus brings. We are a bible believing, family orientated and contemporary church community.
We are committed to
- declaring Jesus Christ as Lord,
- sharing the good news that Jesus has come to save
- practically showing the love of Jesus to all.
We are part of the wider denomination of Baptist churches which operate nationally and internationally, as a committed member of the Baptist Association of NSW & ACT.
Our message is streamed each week online from about 9.45am.

I’m writing this while still on mission in the Solomon Islands. As a team we are on our last day and we are having our first “down” day after 10 days of hard work. We are at the beach and finally enjoying the heat and humidity, having a swim, a relax and we have time to enjoy the beauty of God’s creation.
Whether we are in Australia or overseas, whether it’s summer or winter, whether the temperature is hot or cold we are to be on mission for God. Jesus has commissioned us to make disciples wherever we are.
While in Honiara some of the team got to meet Timeous. Timeous is 97. At least twice a week he catches a bus and goes down to the centre of Honiara and looks for people he can talk to about Jesus. He came to a training day I led and he shared his testimony and played guitar and sang. He is someone to aspire to emulate. He hasn’t been to a medical centre since the 1970’s and he takes no medication. His fingers are still nimble as he plays the guitar in a way that would astound us.
Maybe you have made excuses for why you can’t serve Jesus or undertake mission with Him. This month I ask you to consider what you can do with Jesus. We are never to old or infirm to serve Him. Reflect on these words and draw close to Jesus, love others and look for ways to serve Jesus.
Prayer and blessings
