Mission Trips

I Want To Get Involved

For a week, a month, or even a Summer, you can make a difference in the lives of the people of St. Croix by serving with us at the Lighthouse Mission. There’s always opportunities for people with a variety of talents, including organization, public speaking, cooking, teaching, plumbing, construction, graphic design, web design, painting, decoration, and good old fashion kindness so that people know they are loved.

I Want To Do Evangelism

You are! By showing the love of Christ to the adults and children at the Lighthouse you helping them see just how much God loves them and how much He really wants to save them. You can also discuss one-on-one with anyone who comes to the Lighthouse about Jesus and His gift of salvation. If you’re up to the challenge, you could even give a devotional and the gospel during our morning program. Christiansted is also full of people all around who need to hear about Jesus.

Can I get involved with a church too?

Absolutely! The Lighthouse Mission is actually an outreach of Southgate Baptist Church. We would love to have you help us with our Sunday and Wednesday ministries.

Are there special events I could bring a team down for?

Do You Know Him?

The most important thing one can know about God is that "He is!" He is eager for each of us to know Him personally and be possessors of eternal life.

"But without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6
