About The Lighthouse

We envision a movement of house churches multiplying throughout the Atlanta area equipping every disciple to join God in His mission.

The Lighthouse exists to make disciples by shining the light of Jesus for everyone, everywhere, every day.

The Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Definition of Chalcedon define the universal standards of Christian belief. We affirm the timeless truths professed through these creeds.

Baptism and Communion were instituted by Jesus as physical signs of inward and spiritual grace. God works through them in a unique manner to pour grace into our lives. 

We are descended from the methodist revival movement of the late 18th century. We are Wesleyan in theology and a congregation of the Global Methodist Church. We crave revival on this earth, and we believe God is actively pouring His love on the world.

Nathan Ballew heard the call to ministry at the age of sixteen. After submitting to this call, he asked God to light his path. Nathan enlisted in the Georgia Army National Guard, where he continues to serve as a chaplain. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of North Georgia in Physical Education, and his M.Div from Asbury Theological Seminary. Nathan married his high school sweetheart, Sarah, and they have one son and a dog. Among his diverse interests, Nathan is also passionate about health, fitness, and cooking. He is excited to be starting The Lighthouse!

We believe in the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We believe Jesus transforms lives and we find our reason for living when we encounter Jesus personally.

We believe in spiritual growth in the context of small groups.

We believe each person is called to lead for Jesus in their sphere of influence.

We believe we are called to impact our city together with the light of Jesus.
