How Lighthouse Fellowship Inspired a Movement

Strengthening Churches for Generations: The Story Behind Christian Warrior Foundation

At the heart of every thriving church is a story of faith, perseverance, and partnership. Lighthouse Fellowship began as a small congregation with a bold vision: to build a place where families and neighbors could grow in faith, build authentic community, and reach the next generation for Christ. Under Pastor Frank Briggs' leadership, Lighthouse faced obstacles in this process that would have stopped many: complicated property negotiations that nearly derailed their plans, unexpected delays, and a city annexation that added significant costs. Yet, each hurdle became an opportunity to trust God more deeply.

The Sunday after 9/11, Greg Brady felt led to walk into Frank's church, where he discovered a gifted, charismatic pastor whose heart for his congregation deeply moved and inspired him. As hearts across the nation turned toward eternity, Greg felt compelled to make a pivotal commitment — one that enabled Lighthouse to break ground on a new campus and transform a dream into reality.

His involvement didn't stop there.

These resources proved vital, especially during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, keeping the growing church family connected and the gospel message alive.

The story of Lighthouse Fellowship became a seed for something greater. It showed what can happen when a church is equipped with strong leadership, a clear mission, and the right resources at the right time. Inspired by this transformation, the Christian Warrior Foundation was born.
