Our History
In 2003, Pastor Basto and his family arrived in Bolosan in hopes of starting the
first Baptist church there. After much visitation a small Bible study with two
ladies  was started in their home. Within a few months, it grew to about 15
people.
After one year, the Bible Study outgrew the Basto Family's home and after
much prayer, the Lord provided a large tent that had to be assembled each week
for services. We were so thankful for all the space, and continued to meet there
for nearly another year. We began praying for the Lord to provide something
more stable and durable for the heavy storms that pound each year.
In 2005, the Lord graciously provided us with a house to rent. The two
bedrooms served as Sunday school classes and the owner allowed us to tear
down the wall dividing the living room from the kitchen so that we could have
one large room for our meeting place. We were so thrilled to have  roof over
our head, but knew it was only temporary. We were still growing!! and would
soon need more space. We prayed for 2 years for a larger, more permanent
building that we could finally call our own.
In 2007, the Lord allowed one of our members to hear about a large building
that was for sale. It needed A LOT of work, but we noticed it had a lot of
potential. As soon as we saw it, we envisioned our future church. The Lord
miraculous provided the funds to purchase the building and we soon got to
work transforming the old building into a church.
We finished completely remodeling the building and officially became the
Lighthouse Baptist Church in 2007. We are so  thankful each and every day for
the beautiful building that we can now worship and glorify God in!
