SMT

The Student Ministry Team is a group of professing Christian students at Lighthouse acting as Lighthouse’s leading spiritual representatives. The purpose of SMT is for students to minister to students in Lighthouse and to build up ministry skills for the glory of Christ and to be like Christ. SMT students engage in discipleship relationships with their peers and counselors by shaping Lighthouse’s events, activities, feel, and culture by exercising both their personal and spiritual leadership. SMT students are committing to fostering Christ-centered community at Lighthouse and submitting themselves to spiritual and personal accountability. 

SMT students must be a professing follower of Jesus Christ who has accepted and been transformed by the Gospel. SMT is open by application to current high school students. We look for the follow qualities in potential SMT students:

Character: SMT students should demonstrate growing, Christian faith. We encourage, but not require, students to have made a public declaration of faith through baptism. Specifically, SMT students should demonstrate a willingness to serve and possess a teachable attitude.

Competency: SMT students should show either a competency or potential for specific ministry.

Chemistry: SMT students should be able to work and collaborate with one another.

Commitment: SMT students should be men and women of their word who are able to fulfill their commitments by being present to Lighthouse. 

Counselors

The Youth Ministry at ACC is called Lighthouse with the intention of shepherding and growing students into men and women who can shine the Gospel into a dark and broken world.

Lighthouse counselors are called to model Christ’s love through developing purposeful relationships with students in order to foster their growth and build disciples who love God and love others.

Lighthouse counselors meet with 6th - 12th grade students on Friday nights and Sunday mornings in small groups studying Scripture, playing, sharing, discussing, and praying with their students. Lighthouse counselors help create a culture where Lighthouse is a safe place for students to be real, a place where grace, genuine and not cheap, is administered, and a place where discipline, accountability, and truth-telling is practiced.
