Working Towards a Better Tomorrow

Our Story :

Jesus established the church to be a community of believers, a family, to

encourage each other in unity and to project His love to the world. As a family,

our goal is to love each other without conditions or expectations. We confess

that we are unable, on our own, to practice the unconditional love

demonstrated by our Father, but we pray and desire that He empowers us to

demonstrate His love to you and those around us.

If you are searching for a group of people to accept you where you are and

challenge you to grow in your reflection of God's love, "Welcome" for that is our

goal. For those who call this "home", we commit to pray, to listen with

compassion, to forgive and to nurture. We invite you to experience our church

family. We invite you to explore our Father with us in worship, fellowship and

growth.

THROUGH THE YEARS

Our church began in October of 1974 under the direction of Rev Bill Baker. The first services were held in the American Legion Hall in Clewiston under the name of “First Pentecostal Church”. The church grew quickly and by the fall of 1975 had an average of 50 - 70 people & became incorporated. Through many projects, fund raisers, donations & prayers they obtained the current property. They broke ground & began construction December 10, 1975.

Dedication services were held January 14 & 15, 1977.

In September 1977 Rev Bill Baker resigned & Rev LG McDaniel was voted in as pastor. His first Easter Sunday Service in 1978 was record breaking with 96 in attendance. Rev LG McDaniel resigned late 1978 and Rev Joseph Thompson was voted in early 1979.

Rev. Joseph Thompson resigned late fall of 1987 & Rev J Mark Harris was voted in as the new pastor in 1988. Rev J Mark Harris pastored the church for 19+ years. Under his direction the Church was renamed to “Lighthouse Apostolic Church of Clewiston, Inc”. He resigned March of 2007 and officially moved to IL in June of 2007. Rev Reed Blumenfeld was voted in June 2007.

Rev Reed Blumenfeld pastored the church until December of 2009.

Rev Michael Hall was voted in as new pastor March of 2010. Installation services were held for Rev Michael Hall on August 6, 2010. August 28, 2011 the first Spanish service was offered in the morning service. Spanish Services will be offered (via interpretation) each Sunday at 10am. Rev Hall is looking forward to continuing to serve the congregation and the local community of Clewiston. (Retired)

Rev Michael Vargas was voted in as the new pastor March of 2017. The Church named was changed to The Jesus Church and is now a full time Bi-lingual English/Spanish Ministry. Please come and join in and become part of the history. Pastor Michael Vargas plans to Teach Apostolic Doctrine to a lost and dying world. Just like on the days of the Apostles we are praying for a revival to brake out in our city. We believe in One God, One Faith, One Baptism. That all is to be done in The Name of Jesus.
