Lighthouse Christian Church

Having attended this church regularly for over two years with my wife and children, participated in Church functions and classes, and baptized in this church by Mike Openshaw before I found myself locked up in jail (from July to October 2015) on false allegations of my wife’s as her strategic divorce and custody maneuver. I wrote Pastor Mike Openshaw twice from jail, and this less than Christian Pastor never once responded to me, never once wrote me in jail nor even took 5 minutes of his time to send an e-​mail to me through the jail website. This experience has shown me what type of Man Mike Openshaw is and one in which I’m now ashamed to have followed for those years.

Truly a Bible preaching church, and as there are three different Sunday morning services, you have options to choose your own preferences. My husband and I choose traditional services so we go to the early 830 service. Have met many lifelong friends here, and it is one of the friendliest churches I have been in. Come and see for yourself!

Great message every Sunday. Friendly people, all about getting to know Jesus and making him known. Come and grow your knowledge about our savior, everyone is welcome.

Everyone is happy to see you. I feel welcomed and I am always greeted with a smile and a handshake.
I don’t have a car but the light house church have found a way for my six kids and my wife and I to get to church. Very thankful

We have been attending Lighthouse Christian Church since 2002. The Church’s motto is…“To know Christ and Make Him Known.” This is exactly what happens at this contemporary House of Worship.
Lighthouse offers solid, practical and uncompromisingly biblical teaching if that is important to you since this is becoming less sought after and increasingly rare in today’s society even among self-​professed believers in Jesus Christ.
There are all types of ministry opportunities and ways to apply your spiritual gifts to the building up and strengthening the body of Christ.
Many excellent children’s ministries are offered as well as a huge variety of adult Sunday Schools and weekly Bible studies and home fellowships. We have some of the best Bible instructors anywhere. (Humbly speaking of course!)
There are three worship services: traditional services (classic hymns) at 8:30, and contemporary praise and worship services at 10:00 and 11:30 am.
With clever wit, unique humor, an unsurpassed knowledge of the Scriptures, and not to mention an uncompromising stance on the essentials of the faith, Pastor Mike Openshaw delivers the truth of the Bible with passion and authenticity.
Please accept our heartfelt and sincere invitation to join us next Sunday. You will not be disappointed. May our Lord bless and keep you always!

Love this place! Have been going for nearly 9 years and love the people and the inspiring messages. Highly recommend this church! !

Light house christian church is the real deal!, no gimmicks, no watering down the bible. I’ve been to many churches throughout my walk with God, and this church is genuine, friendly, and caring. The messages are practical, and up lifting. I give it 5 stars because I have seen many people’s lives change since I started attending in December of 2009. If your looking for a church that will treat you like a member of their family instead of a number, check out this church, you won’t be sorry, you will be blessed!

This is a must visit the Cross at Mesa and College, music traditional and contemporary 3 services 8:30 traditional 10 & 11:30 contemporary (I have been to all three). Pastors Mike, David, and Jonathan teach straight from The Word. And God supplied the view to be spectacular

When we moved to Oceanside, not only was it a new City, it was a new state for us. We visited several churches but never got «that feeling». As soon as we went to Lighthouse, we immediately knew we had found our home. Ten years later Lighthouse has raised our kids through an amazing Youth Group and have loved us each step of the way.

Lighthouse Christian Church is a nondenominational evangelical church with a diverse attendance. There are three worship celebrations times each week – 8:30am (a traditional service featuring hymns, a choir, etc.), 10:00am (contemporary style, highest attendance), and 11:30am (contemporary style). There is complementary coffee and donuts on the patio between services, good «Sunday school» programs for children, and many adult Sunday classes or mid-​week growth groups.
My wife and I had a list of several churches we wanted to «check out» in the area. We went to Lighthouse first, and never got to any of the others. We found the people friendly, but most remarkably we found it incredibly easy to get involved at Lighthouse. I was welcomed immediately on several ministry teams, not because I’m anything special but because I was willing and they don’t like to overload just a few core people. I found team leaders very helpful in getting oriented to my tasks.
This is not a pretentious church. People attend from all walks, with plenty of Marines, retired people, young families, empty-​nesters, etc. The pastors are accessible and genuine. The worship pastor writes some of the songs the church sings regularly. The teaching is simple at Lighthouse, but everyone talks about their personal journey in faith and there is a spirit of grace and acceptance.
Come check it out for yourself!

Simple Church but It Rocks!
