Annual Year in Review Update.
Spiritual Stats from 2022:
Professions of Faith: 30
Baptisms: 3
First time visitors for a church service: 125+
Door’s Knocked: 7,000
What we learned from 2022:
1. We saw the most visitors we have ever had come to the church.
2. We saw the most professions of faith this year as well. (14 from Door Knocking, 14 from Youth Nights, and 2 from People just
attending the church).
This is why the above took place:
1. We saw the most visitors and professions of faith because we emphasized Soul-winning at the beginning of the year with a Soul-
winning Conference.
2. We encouraged our church folks to bring family and friends to church by having more special Sundays.
3. We replaced eight of our Sunday Evening Services with Youth Nights where the whole church got involved and ran a one-night
VBS. And of course, because of the Lord.
What we are going to do in 2023 with this information:
1. We are going to have another Soul-winning Conference to encourage our people to continue witnessing.
2. We are going to expand our Youth Ministry as much as possible by having a Youth Night at least once a month and have a Jr.
Week VBS and a Teen week VBS this summer.
Prayer Request: One of the main reasons we do Youth Nights in place of our Sunday Night Service is because we do not have
anyone trained enough to lead a youth group. Praying for direction in this area. There have been times we have had up to 30 to
40 young people there. We would love to have them every Sunday.
State of the Church:
• Average Sunday Morning Attendance: 20
• Organically Produced Church Income: $46,000 (Note: This number doesn’t include Monthly Support or One Time Offerings.
($46,000 Is what the people of Lighthouse Baptist Church invested into the ministry.) Without your monthly support and the
one-time offerings Lighthouse would be struggling to stay open. Just the monthly utilities and general maintenance was $35,000
in 2022.
• In the month of March, we will be having a man who has been discipled here at Lighthouse teach an adult Sunday School class
for a month. Depending on how that goes it will help us expanded into new areas of ministry.
Prayer Requests:
1. Pray for more Soul’s to be Saved
2. Pray for the Church to grow Spiritually, numerically, and financially in 2023.
3. Pray for wisdom regarding youth ministry and the leadership opportunities there.
4. Pray for Hannah’s Health
