Since 2001 the Lighthouse has served the physical, mental and spiritual needs of over 300 men. Many have moved on to lead productive lives. Others have been planted with seeds of hope for the future regardless of their past. Some have been at the Lighthouse more than once.

Many of us affiliated with FTC have in some way been in your shoes so we understand. We want to help because others have done the same for us. The love and mercy of Jesus Christ compels and moves us toward meeting you at your place of need.

The Lighthouse Mission and Transitional Housing program seeks to help men find balance in their lives by creating a safe environment, providing practical resources, and limiting negative distractions that keep men from building a foundation and growing relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

The recommended stay is six months but depending on the individuals needs the mission is very flexible when it comes to the length of their stay.

Requirements for the program include finding employment within two weeks of entering the house (transportation to and from work is provided by the Lighthouse), assisting with house duties and chores, participation in a support group, weekly studies, a private discipleship study program and weekly church services..

The Lighthouse believes that the most important step men take in making some positive changes in their lives is to acknowledge their inability to overcome destructive habits on their own. We help men see the value of being open and truthful about their struggles, pains and weaknesses, as well as their gifts and talents.

We help men understand that taking full responsibility for past choices will help in making better future decisions.

Change from a lifetime of bad habits and negative selfish thinking is often slow. The Lighthouse staff and volunteers work one day at a time to be a beacon of hope for men who are ready for change.

The mission seeks to minister to the whole person and teaches men that making God real in every situation is not a religious act but a natural outflow of a living relationship with their creator.
