Our Mission
The Mission of Lighthouse Evangelical Presbyterian Church is to shine Christ’s truth, peace, and salvation to our world and to equip the next generation with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
What We Believe
Our name describes us well. The EPC is both evangelical and Presbyterian. We are evangelical in our zeal for the gospel, as well as evangelism, missions, and living obediently as followers of Jesus. At the same time, we are rooted deeply in the Protestant Reformation and especially the theological and pastoral work of John Calvin. We embrace the Westminster Confession of Faith as our doctrinal standard, and the rule of spiritually mature elders linked together regionally as the best way to guide local congregations
Pastor AJ Platt is passionate about helping people grow in their walk with Jesus and has twenty-five years of pastoral ministry experience with a bachelors degree in Community Ministry from Geneva College, a Masters of Divinity from Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Knox Seminary. He is the author of several books and currently lives with his wife Emily and their two sons Jake and Bennett in Youngstown, OH.
