John Piet - Pastor / Elder
Our pastor and his wife have been married since 1989 and have 6 sons; 4 biologically and 2 miraculously placed by God through adoption from the Philippines. They also have 3 daughters-in-law and 4 grandchildren. John and Kim served the Lord as missionaries in the Philippines from 2004 to 2013. While in the Philippines, our Lord used them to start an orphanage and a church in Baguio, City. They left the Philippines in March of 2013 and returned to Lighthouse to serve as the associate pastor from June 2013 until August 2014. In August of 2014, Pete Ruble, Lighthouse’s founding pastor, felt led to resign; God then moved upon the hearts of the Lighthouse members to call John to be their pastor.
John loves the Lord with all of his heart and is humbled to be used of his great Master and King in this capacity. He seeks to lovingly lead this body of believers to a closer walk with the Savior and encourages the body to shine God’s light and to shake God’s salt on this dark and flavorless world.
