About Us

The Lighthouse Church is a nondenominational ​Christian church, founded in 1974 by John L. ​Reinhardt, Sr. Nearly 50 years later, our mission ​remains the same - shining the light of Christ in a ​dark and hurting world.


In 2021, Al Waltz answered the calling to lead the ​church, and was ordained as Senior Pastor. With ​44 years of emergency response experience, ​Pastor Al has a heart for serving communities in ​crisis.

Our Mission

We're taking the love of Jesus beyond ​the four walls of the church to those who ​need it most.


During the immediate aftermath of a ​natural disaster, we are on the scene ​providing relief and compassion.

TLC Helping Hand provides comfort and support to families ​impacted by natural disasters – home fire, tornado, flood, and ​more. Working closely with local organizations and federal ​authorities allows us to respond quickly to disaster, deploying a ​fleet of emergency response vehicles. Upon arrival, our ​volunteers are available to distribute emergency supplies, non-​perishable foods, and personal items to those in need.

How to help

We welcome the support of individuals, ​community organizations, and ​businesses via monetary or in-kind ​donations.

Individuals can contribute by ​volunteering for preparation and ​emergency relief.
