Our Mission
It is the mission of Lighthouse Community Outreach Centers, Inc, to equip, empower, educate, edify and evangelize. In order that all can be clear of the mission and purpose of LCOM, Inc. the expanded version of the mission is as follows:
Equipping
One of the worst things that could happen is to be given a task but not given the tools necessary to accomplish the task. LCOM will equip leaders with the necessary tools to lead. Utilizing a T.E.A.M. Model of Leadership Development, LCOM will provide the mentoring, coaching and experience needed to accomplish the God-given call
Empowering
LCOM is a ministry that legitimizes and activates those with five-fold ministry gifts through licensing and ordination. We also provide support for new ministries and church startups. We will provide what is necessary to empower ministry in the community.
Educating
Equipment is no good if you do not know how to use it! One of the key premises of Enlightenment is that one must first have knowledge and then secondly understand the knowledge that is known. Understanding comes with education. Lighthouse is a teaching ministry! Who is God and who are you in Him? Through specific training workshops, conferences and retreats we provide the needed educational services.
Edifying
Edification is the provision of instruction for the improvement of a person in a moral or intellectual way. LCOM has a purpose to help a person learn who they are and how to become the person they have discovered. The only way to accomplish this is to become who God created you to be. LCOM takes you on a journey of self-discovery in the pursuit of your personal purpose.
Evangelizing
At LCOM we believe that evangelism is a way of life. It is the removal of the salt from the saltshaker into that to which it is intended to preserve or add flavor. LCOM conducts ministry in the community to women, children, youth, men, the homeless, the abused . . . We look forward to unique situations in which to show Christ or to bring change within our communities.
