Executive Pastor Beacon Church: God in Christ, Serve

About Beacon Church

Beacon Church exists to help people Love God, Love People, Grow in Christ, and Serve the World. Founded in 2005, Beacon is a vibrant, gospel-centered church rooted in the heart of Long Island’s diverse, fast-moving New York metro culture. We are a community of people who take Jesus seriously, pursue genuine discipleship, and believe the local church is God’s “plan A” for the world.

What started small has grown into a multi-service, multi-ministry congregation with a growing footprint in the region.

Our discipleship pathway runs deep: from Alpha courses and small groups to Discipleship Classes and small groups, we invest in the long-term spiritual growth of every person who walks through our doors.
