Our Vision for a Brighter Future

We are passionate about reaching our community through service, outreach, and genuine relationships that reflect God’s love.

A Little Bit About Us

Our Story

In 2018, Pastor Josh and Joanna felt called by God to plant a church in North County San Diego. After months of prayer and guidance, Lighthouse Church North County officially launched in San Marcos on March 24, 2019, with a team of 74 people. Within the first year, the church grew to 200 people finding community and belonging.


During the 2020 pandemic, Lighthouse moved fully online for 49 weeks, yet God continued to move through growing families, lasting connections, and baptisms. In 2021, Lighthouse reopened in Vista after purchasing its first permanent home at 342 Eucalyptus Ave., where renovations continue as the church prepares for the future.


Today, Lighthouse continues Loving Radically, Living Generously, and Watching Jesus Do the Extraordinary. Through ordinary people, God has helped Lighthouse launch four churches, support ministries serving the homeless, orphanages in Mexico, and women recovering from trafficking, while continuing to serve the local community with compassion and care.
