Our Sending Church

Lighthouse Baptist Church

We are sent out of Lighthouse Baptist Church in Grand Prairie, Texas, ordained by the authority of the church in October, 2015.

Serving together…apart

A missions-hearted church

Lighthouse Baptist Church was planted in Grand Prairie in 2003 by Bro. David Grice, its current pastor. Lighthouse is the sending church for three different missionaries, all to Spanish-speaking countries.

KJV Believing

There’s no room for compromise on God’s word.

Position ➠ Practice

A church that puts into practice what they preach.

Safe and caring

Our home church is a place of refuge for the hurt and abused.

Missions in focus

Lighthouse supports over 80 missionaries and gives over $110,000 to missions annually.

David Grice, pastor

A graduate of Norris Baptist Bible Seminary in Fort Worth, Bro. Grice planted Lighthouse Baptist Church as a place where hurting people could get back on their feet and serve the LORD together.

“Preach” as everyone calls him is a memorable, encouraging and God-honoring pastor and friend. As a sending pastor, he provides valuable oversight and input on ministry focus and long term goals.

Bro. Grice also teaches at Norris Seminary, as well as serving as the current vice-president of the Independent Baptist Fellowship International and the president of the Independent Baptists of Texas and the Great Southwest.

God’s plan for His glory

We believe that the LORD Jesus Christ established the church to be the way in which He is glorified in this world and in eternity.

Exalt the LORD Jesus Christ

Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

Effect the evangelization of the lost

2 Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. (14-21)

Edify and Exhort the believers

Romans 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

Ephesians 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Expand the reach of the gospel through planting local churches

Acts 16:14 ¶And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
