Hi! My name is Logan. I started working part-time at Lighthouse in 2018. In 2021, I left my position as a middle school special education teacher to join the staff full time. In 2022, I became the Kids Ministry leader.

Lighthouse Kids serves students from birth to 5th grade with classes and curriculum designed for their developmental level on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights. Family bonds and modeling your faith to the next generation are core values here at Lighthouse which is why kids are encouraged to attend worship with their parents and then dismiss to class when prompted by the video announcements. Kids remain in their classroom until they are picked up by a parent with a corresponding security tag.

Church-wide Spiritual Growth Challenge

Each January Pastor Ritchey encourages everyone at Lighthouse to take part in our annual spiritual growth challenge of reading the entire Bible in one year. This challenge is based on Hebrews 5:12-14 which talks about the spiritual maturity that comes from spending time in God’s Word. We believe that God’s will for all believers is that they become spiritually mature. God reveals His heart, will, and nature through His Word. When we fail to read ALL of God's Word, we miss out on opportunities to discover the character and personality of God. Choose this year to push the boundaries of your faith, striving towards spiritual maturity by joining us in reading the whole Bible!

Kids can participate too!

As long as a child is truly listening, it’s NOT cheating to use an audio Bible to complete their weekly reading. We know that young kids who are learning to read aren’t able to read the entire Bible independently, which is why students who complete the reading plan for their age group are still eligible for the celebratory steak dinner at Shady Maple with Pastor Ritchey at the end of the year. Students can also earn prizes throughout the year as they reach checkpoints in the plans.

Preschool Reading Plan

The Bible App for Kids is an interactive journey from Genesis to Revelation that shows the overall story of Scripture. For every 5 badges your preschooler completes, they earn a prize in class. Printable Reading Plan: Part 1 & Part 2

Elementary Reading Plan

This original reading plan is divided into weekly reading checklists. Each week they’ll read or listen to select chapters from the next book in the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. As kids complete an entire month’s worth of reading (or listening) they earn a prize in class. Printable Reading Plan

Encounter Services

In 1 Samuel 3 the prophet Samuel was a child who heard the audible voice of God but mistook it for his mentor Eli. After receiving instruction, Samuel famously responded, “speak Lord, for your servant is listening.” You’re never too young to hear from the Lord!

During Kids Encounter Services, Preschool and Elementary classes combine for special Sunday morning service with a focus on prayer and worship

Invite Nights

In 2 Corinthians 5:20, the Bible declares that “we are therefore Christ’s ambassadors as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: be reconciled to God.”

You’re never too young to share your faith and invite a friend to church! During Invite Nights, Wednesday night Preschool and Elementary classes combine for fun-filled themed events
