Who we are
A lighthouse for the Gospel in New England.
Lighthouse Baptist Church exists to glorify God by faithfully preaching His Word, making disciples, and sending the light of the Gospel to our community and the world.
Serving Waterbury, Naugatuck, Watertown, Wolcott, and the Greater Waterbury area of Connecticut, we are an independent, Bible-believing Baptist church that seeks to honor the Lord Jesus Christ in doctrine, worship, and daily living. Our services are reverent yet welcoming, with a focus on Christ-centered preaching from the King James Bible.
Whether you are new to church, new to the area, or looking for a church home, we would be honored to have you visit. You will find friendly faces, God-honoring music, and clear preaching that lifts up the Lord and explains His Word.
