Each Sunday, a group goes out to Pacific Beach and partners with the PB Presbyterian Church to help feed approximately 100-150 homeless men and women. There are opportunitites for people to help prepare and serve the food as well as share the Gospel message with the needy. This ministry generally runs from 3-6pm. Volunteers who go to help Sunday afternoons just need to show up as PB members will direct what help is needed with meal preparation and serving.
Through the years, devotions have been shared by Set Free ministries, as well as visiting pastors from other local churches who have come to volunteer.
When LBC became involved with the ministry, a three-fold purpose was envisioned: To provide LBC members an opportunity to:
- get involved in the community as salt and light (Matt. 5:13)
- fellowship as they serve together in preparing and serving meals
- be obedient to Christ’s command to help the poor and needy (Deut. 15:11; Matt. 25:31-46)
Pacific Beach Presbyterian Church is located at 1675 Garnet Ave., Pacific Beach, and any interested LBC members are encouraged to make the initiative to go, whether as individuals or groups. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Joyce Kang or Grace Lee.

The Compassion Ministry at LBC focuses on making a positive impact in the lives of people in our local community and throughout the world. We do this so that we may show the world that we have a faith, hope and love that only Jesus Christ can give.
The core aspect of this ministry is to reach out to our local community. This is achieved through various outreach events throughout the year. These may include but are not limited to visiting convalescent homes, orphanages, women’s shelters, soup kitchens, home building in Mexico, and open EV on the streets. The goal is to use these outreach events for the purpose of bringing people to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ by preaching and living the Word.
Requirements for participation are: a regular attender of Lighthouse Bible Church and attend a meeting every few months in order to plan out events. The only needs of the ministry at this point are hearts that desire to make an impact for Christ. If you would like to participate in the compassion ministry contact Grace Lee.
Contact: Grace LeeMy name is Hwa Park and I am the ministry coordinator for the NVT Ministry (New Visitors Team). I have been a part of this ministry for a long time now and although our practices and processes have evolved over the past 11 years the purpose of this ministry has remained pretty much the same. The primary purpose of this ministry is to welcome and orient first time visitors to LBC and also to serve both members and non-members during Sunday worship. The New Visitors Team performs the following functions:
We provide parking patrol and management services during Sunday worship and also at other LBC functions. There are designated parking spots for pastors, families with nursery aged children, and new visitors.
We provide security services during worship both inside and outside the church.
We always have a need for more people, so if you are a member and would like to join the team, please contact me at hwapark@yahoo.com.
