 Lead Pastors Kel & Mary Slater |
Pastoral StaffIn the fall of 1995, the Slaters were sent to "The Lighthouse Santa Rosa" as temporary pastors. In January of 1996, just three months from their time of arrival, membership had grown from 8 to 50 people. Many were coming to know Jesus Christ and it was clear that God was up to something. The Foursquare leadership that had sent them out suggested temporary should become permanent and God has been blessing their church ever since. Today the church has grown and has a number of home groups meeting weekly.
