Pastor Stephen Gordon

I was born and raised on a farm just outside of Maxwell Ontario. I was born into a Christian home and learned about Christ from a young age. My family was very involved in the ministry at our home church, Rock Mills Fellowship Baptist Church in Flesherton, ON. At the age of five after an AWANA club meeting I gave my heart to the Lord. At the age of ten I followed the Lords' leading and was baptized. I was very involved in the church while growing up serving with my family whenever we could.

Upon completing High School I enrolled in New Brunswick Bible Institute and completed their Bachelor of Theology program. It was during this time at Bible School that I met my wife Abby. We were married following graduation and served for two years at my home church as a Pastoral Intern. When the time came for the internship to be finished it was recommend by my church that I be ordained for the ministry. The ordination took place in May of 2010 and we began our ministry at Lighthouse in August of that same year. 

 

After coming to Lighthouse in 2010 I continued my education by taking courses through Baptist Bible Seminary in Clarks Summit PA. In May of 2014 I graduated with a Master of Ministry Degree. I have also completed a Masters of Arts in Biblical Counseling from Faith Bible Seminary in Lafayette IN. 

 

It is my privilege to serve as the Pastor here at Lighthouse. It is my passion to preach God's word and to help people live out the truths of the Bible.
