New to LCC?

Here are some questions that we get asked a lot and some answers that we hope you'll find helpful. If you've got a question that we haven't answered then you might not be the only person asking it! Please send us a question and we'll do our best to answer it. If it is a great question (or answer!) we'll put it here and you never know, your question may even help someone else.

What kind of church are you?

We are an Elim Pentecostal Church. Elim has over 600 churches in the UK and each one is different so that might not be the most helpful description! We are a friendly church that is active in the local community. Our music is lively and contemporary and the preaching practical and grounded in the Bible.

What should I expect on a Sunday?

The first thing you should expect is a warm welcome! Then make yourself comfortable or browse our information stand. Our music and worship is lively playing a mixture of Hillsongs, Hillsongs United, Matt Redman, Delirious and homegrown songs. The message lasts for around 30 minutes and we finish off with another song. The service lasts for around 2 hours but please stick around for a drink and a chat.

How do I get to your Church

The Church is fairly easy to find once you know where it is! Check out our Find Us page for more information about getting to one of our sites.

If you have difficulty in getting to our Sunday morning services you may be able to take advantage of our minibus pick up service.

What should I wear?

Whatever you are comfortable in! Some of the church wear suit and tie, some wear national costume, some wear hats some don't, some wear jeans; we've even seen shorts in hot weather! If you are happy wearing a suit then feel free to wear a suit. If you want to wear jeans and t-shirt then feel free; we don't have dress codes.

How many people come to the Lighthouse?

We get several hundred at our 10.30am service so we recommend getting there early to make sure you get a good parking space. Our helpful and friendly car park stewards will guide you the best place to park.

We also have a 6pm service every week. The service varies depending on the time of the month so please check the events page for details.

There is also an Indian congregation that meets at 9.30am in Wythenshawe and they average around 100. Our Eritrean congregation also meets at Centenary Park at 2pm and they have around 150 people attending.
