Outreach opportunities at LCS

One of the key principles we instill in our students is that God has given us talents and abilities in order to serve others. Lighthouse students in all grades are given opportunities to participate in local and global mission projects. Some of these projects include:

All God’s Children Schools (Liberia)

Lighthouse is privileged to sponsor a sister school in Liberia. The prayerful and financial support enables over 1,000 Liberian students to receive an education. Past projects have included providing uniforms, school supplies, soccer balls, desks, and supplemental teacher salaries for All God’s Children. Students also exchange letters between the two schools, and Lighthouse teachers have completed summer mission trips to Liberia.

Food Bank

Lighthouse students collect food for the Gig Harbor FISH food bank each fall. In 2008, our student body completed a special toy/gift drive that provided Christmas gifts to needy families in the community. Elementary students also collected more than 7 grocery carts full of food for the Key Peninsula food bank; middle school students contributed several grocery carts full as well.

Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital

The Teddy Care Project is a signature mission project at Lighthouse! At school students learn about some of the diseases or special needs that may send a child to the hospital. Students minister to these children by praying for them and by giving one or two new teddy bears (or other stuffed animals) to comfort them at their time of need.

Community Service Projects

Middle School students are taught to emulate Jesus in His servant leadership. All students are required to serve in their church or community at least three hours each quarter. Many students enjoy the opportunity to use their talents and skills to bless others. Everything from weeding for a senior citizen to serving in the church nursery is accomplish by our students.
