The Lighthouse

We will gather those in distress or trouble; Those who are in debt or poverty; and those who are discontented, or dissatisfied, and in need of direction. Our purpose for gathering them is to train disciples of Jesus Christ that will work fearlessly to take back inner cities of America.

We will establish missions, churches, and Christian businesses to minister to distressed people and spread the good news of Salvation, which is through Christ alone.There is a tendency for people to look upon others who are homeless, addicted to drugs and alcohol, or in and out of crime, and blame them for the circumstances they're in.

A small, independent church was founded in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1986, and soon attracted Pastor Barry Bowie, who arrived there four years later, in 1990. His vision was to preach the Gospel of love and compassion toward those who were hurting. Soon after, in 1991, Pastor Bowie invited Gregory Newcomb to join him as an associate pastor.

Choose to live a life in the image of Christ with help from The Lighthouse, based in Memphis, Tennessee. We help individuals facing hard times restore their faith in God and get back on their feet so they can live productive and faith-centered lives. Through our transitional housing and back-to-work program, called the Nehemiah Program, this is possible.
