About Us

We are passionate about proclaiming the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. At Lighthouse Baptist Church, sharing the gospel is at the heart of everything we do—from Sunday services to community outreach. We believe every person needs to hear and experience the life-changing message of grace and forgiveness. Our mission is to be a beacon of light in Indianapolis, shining with the truth of God’s Word.

Our History

Church – Timeless or Trendy

Malls are trendy. Churches should feel timeless. With the forceful current of constant change sweeping over every part of our lives, people have the need to connect with something enduring and firm. We believe Christ designed the church to fulfill that need by representing an eternal kingdom and ageless truth with no need to imitate the culture.


still Preaching

Dynamic, passionate preaching straight from the Bible still brings more lasting change than comedy routines, drama, or motivational talks. Come discover the benefit of Bible preaching.


still Men

The rumor that masculine men hate church simply isn’t true. Come discover an environment where plenty of real men still believe God expects them to step up and provide strong, loving leadership in the church and in their families.


still Hymns

Most church music amounts to dumbing down the lyrics and cranking up the volume to build interest. The hymns we sing still generate an attitude toward God that is anything but lifeless and boring.


still Reverent

Casual is all the rage in American institutions, but God deserves better. While you won’t find a judgmental spirit here, you will find a place that still believes reverence is right for the presence of God.


still Family

Our culture’s experiments with the family have left the American home in a mess. We still teach the biblical roles for the family as the best answer and as our only hope for stable, fulfilled homes.


still Exciting

God doesn’t need the Top 40 or the latest fads to be exciting. We still enjoy several timeless practices that stir the soul in a way that strobe lights and dancing in the aisles can never manufacture.

Our Beliefs

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

  • The Bible

    All Scripture is divinely inspired of God. The Holy Bible is God's revelation to mankind. We believe that God not only inspired every word, but that He also preserved them through the ages. We believe the King James Bible to be the preserved Word of God for the English Speaking people. (II Tim 3:16; II Pet 1:21)

  • God

    One God eternally exists in three Persons: Father, Son, & Holy Spirit. (Mat 3:16-17; I Cor 8:16; II Cor 13:14; I John 5:7)


    Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary and is 100% God and 100% Man. (Mat 1:18-23; John 1:1, 14).

  • The Fall of Man

    One God eternally exists in three Persons: Father, Son, & Holy Spirit. (Mat 3:16-17; I Cor 8:16; II Cor 13:14; I John 5:7)


    Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary and is 100% God and 100% Man. (Mat 1:18-23; John 1:1, 14)

  • Salvation

    Christ died for our sins as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who trust in Him are justified by his shed blood. (John 3:16; Rom 5:1, 8-9; I Tim 2:5; Heb 9:11-15, 27-28)


    The crucified body of our Lord was resurrected from the dead; He ascended into Heaven and is there our intercessor. (Mat 28:6; I Cor 15:4; Acts 1:9; Rom 8:34; Heb 7:25)


    The personal, premillenial, pretribulational return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is imminent. (John 14:2; Acts 1:11; Rev 4:1)


    Salvation is by grace through faith alone in the finished work of Christ on the cross. (Eph 2:8-9; John 6:47; Rev 3:20)


    All believers are baptized into the true body by the Holy Spirit and are set apart to a holy walk. (I Cor 1:30; I Cor 12:13; Eph 2:10; I Pet 1:14-19)


    All true believers, having been born into the family of God, are possessors of everlasting life, shall never perish, and are eternally secure. (I Pet 1:3-5; John 10:28-29)


    The bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust is certain, as is the everlasting blessedness of the saved and everlasting punishment of the lost. (I Thes 4:13-18; Rev 20:11-15; John 5:28-29)

  • The Local Church

    The church began with the calling out of the twelve apostles by Jesus Christ and was empowered on the day of Pentecost. As an Independent Baptist Church, we are governed by God and His Word. We believe the local church is God's only institution to carry out His work today. We believe the local church is composed of members who have been saved and baptized according to the command of Christ. (Mat 16:16-18; Acts 1:15; Acts 2:41-43).


    Immersion is the only scriptural mode of baptism and is for believers only. (Rom 6:3-4; Acts 8:36-38)


    The Lord's Supper is a commemoration of His death until He comes, and is to be celebrated periodically. (Luke 22:17-20; I Cor 11:23-30).

  • Holy Spirit

    We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is the third person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is the unifying power between God and humanity, and is the source of our comfort, guidance, and strength. The Holy Spirit helps us to understand and appreciate the Bible, and helps us to live out its teachings in our lives. We believe that the Holy Spirit is with us always, faithfully guiding us in our walk with God. We also believe that the Holy Spirit gives us gifts such as wisdom, knowledge, understanding, healing, miracles, tongues, and prophecy so that we can be used to serve God and spread His love.

  • The Church

    We believe in the Christian doctrinal belief of The Church. We believe that the Church is a holy assembly of believers, united in faith and love. We strive to be a community of believers who are united in our faith in Jesus Christ and in our commitment to serve Him and His kingdom. We are committed to loving God and loving others, and to be known for our love for one another. We believe that the Church is a body of believers who are called to serve and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to all people. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we seek to be faithful disciples of Jesus and to follow His teachings. We strive to live out our faith through loving actions and service to our community and the world.

  • Conduct

    As children of the Lord, we should endeavor, by God's grace to live a consistent Christian life and refrain from worldliness and conduct ourselves in such a way as not to be a stumbling block. (Rom 12:1-2; Col 3:1-17; Rom 14:12-13).
