We hope everyone had a great summer, but we also can’t wait to welcome you back to Lighthouse!

Game tickets and parking are covered, but students are welcome to bring $ to purchase concessions if you would like – please note, the stadium has gone cashless and all carry-in bags must be clear. See American Family Field’s website for more info.
You must RSVP by September 13th in order to participate.

October 4th from 6:30-8:00 pm – Lighthouse Life Night
Lighthouse Life Nights will be offered once a month and will be a mix of games, conversation, and activities centered around a particular topic for each night. This year, we will be highlighting different topics of spiritual growth including prayer, worship, and how faith impacts our daily life.
October 11th from 3:00-6:30 pm – Pumpkin Farm and Pumpkin Carving
Looking for an afternoon of fall fun with some friends? Then join us as we travel to Spieker’s Pumpkin Farm along with the youth from Vineyard Church in Grafton. Navigate your way through their giant corn maze and enjoy a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch. Afterwards, we’ll head back to Lighthouse for dinner and end with a pumpkin carving/painting contest.

In the season of giving thanks, we are so thankful for all of the amazing students that make up Lighthouse!

Each year, Milwaukee hosts a huge “Stuff the Bus” holiday food drive. This day is the last day of the collection and we will be partnering with Feeding America to help them sort through the abundance of donations that come in. Please meet at Lighthouse and we’ll carpool down to Milwaukee together.
