The Lighthouse Ministries, Inc. is a non-profit corporation serving men, women, and children of Kentucky with a three-fold ministry designed to meet the practical and spiritual needs of those in crisis situations, resulting in “changed lives for a lifetime”.

Governed by a board of directors, The Lighthouse is located in Lexington, Kentucky and operates solely via tax-deductible contributions from caring individuals, corporate businesses, and missions minded churches. Initiated on March 5, 1993 as a ministry to feed the homeless, poor, and needy of Lexington and its environs, the vision of The Lighthouse expanded in May, 1994 to include residential homes providing bible based training in response to individual needs. There are three distinct operations included in the mission; each operates without fees.

The first response to the need of ministry is to feed hot meals to the hungry, poor, and needy of the local communities. This program provides a platform to share God’s love in word, deed, and truth as well as yielding a resource center through which potential individuals can be referred to the residential homes of The Lighthouse and/or to local churches that are equipped to help.

The second response to the need of ministry is The Nehemiah House, a crisis induction home for men of at least 18 years of age. Designed for men with life-controlling problems, this 6-12 month program is comprised of a Christ-centered curriculum structured to assist in developing a disciplined life-style based on God’s word and prayer. Upon graduation, these men may advance to The Nehemiah House Job Program, where they are accorded assistance with job placement while continuing to live in the residence for up to ninety days in a phase-out program. Should the imposition of disciplinary action require a resident to leave the home, the possibility of re-entry after a period of thirty days is determined by staff following careful consideration and prayer.

The third response to the need of ministry is the Rachel House, a house of refuge for women (and their children) who are suffering from the anguish of abuse, the oppression of poverty, or the torment of life-controlling problems. Meeting these needs with love and understanding in a strictly confidential environment, this residence provides timely crisis management, a bible institute, and a training center for those who surrender their lives and their circumstances to God.

At the core of each ministry of The Lighthouse is the heartfelt desire to see “changed lives for a lifetime”.
