About OVLC
A community shaped by grace, gathered around a table
Ocean View Lighthouse Church is a Christ-centered community where people are welcomed, relationships are strengthened, faith is nurtured, and lives are transformed through the love of Jesus.
Who we are
Known by name. Everyone matters here.
We are an ordinary congregation with an extraordinary calling. Some of us have followed Jesus for decades. Some of us are just beginning to ask questions. Some arrived in a season of loss and found a family.
We believe every person has a story worth hearing, a life worth celebrating, and something meaningful to contribute. That conviction shapes how we worship, how we care for one another, and how we serve our neighborhood.
People shouldn't merely attend Ocean View Lighthouse Church. They should have a place in it.
Our mission
Improving lives together.
We exist to help people find hope, build meaningful relationships, grow in faith, and make a difference — through worship, community, discipleship, and service.
At Ocean View Lighthouse Church, you can find a place to belong, opportunities to grow in faith, and meaningful ways to make a difference.
We are a small congregation on purpose. Small enough that you can be known, and open enough that there is always room for someone new.
What we believe
Clear faith, in everyday language
The Bible
We believe the Bible is God's Word and our trustworthy guide for faith and everyday living. It offers wisdom, hope, encouragement and direction for real life.
God
We believe in one God — Father, Son and Holy Spirit — who created the world, loves it still, and invites us into relationship.
Jesus
We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human. In his life, death and resurrection we see the clearest picture of who God is and how much we are loved.
Grace
We believe salvation is a gift of God's grace, received through faith in Jesus rather than earned. No one is beyond God's welcome.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit comforts, teaches, convicts and empowers followers of Jesus to grow in character and to serve their neighbors.
The Church
We believe the church is a family of people, not a building. We are called to worship together, care for one another, and serve the community around us.
Communion & Baptism
We practice both as gifts of grace — signs that remind us we belong to Christ and to one another.
Serving Others
We believe faith is expressed in action. Caring for the needs of others is an important part of following Jesus.
Why the lighthouse?
A light that helps you find your way home
A lighthouse does not move toward the ships. It stays put, keeps its light burning, and helps people find their way. That is what we want to be for the Ocean View neighborhood and for anyone searching for hope — steady, warm, and easy to find.
