About Us
Lighthouse Baptist Mission and New Hope Baptist Church are mission churches from Iglesia Bautista Berea. Iglesia Bautista Berea (Berean Baptist Church) is a Spanish speaking church that was started in 2015. Matthew Shields serves as the Pastor of Iglesia Bautista Berea and the two missions at this time.
Lighthouse Baptist Mission was founded in 2020 and New Hope Baptist Church in San Nicolas began in 2022. The services of Lighthouse are in English and the services in San Nicolas are in English and Spanish. Our prayer is that God will use these churches to preach the truth of God's Word and show many the way of salvation!

Our Mission
To bring glory to God in all we do.
​
To preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
​
To love people.
Our Vision
To establish as many churches as God allows here on the island of Aruba and around the world. To preach the gospel - salvation by faith in Christ alone by the grace of God. Salvation can not come by our good works and we desire to tell as many as we can the truths of God's Word.
You are Invited!
Hello, we are Lighthouse Baptist Mission of Oranjestad and New Hope Baptist Church of San Nicolas and we want you to know that you, your family, and your friends are invited to come and visit our churches as soon as possible! We are a group of believers in Jesus Christ who come together as a local church with the simple purposes of learning more about God and His Word, worshiping the LORD, and having fellowship with each other as the family in
Christ. We are doing our best to reach our Island and city with the Good News of Salvation. If vou are a believer in Christ and are searching for a church, then we would love to have you come and join us. If you have not believed in Jesus Christ then we invite you to meditate on these truths found in the Scriptures that teach us that all men are sinners and separated from God, but Christ died in our place, paying our debt of sin on the cross of Calvary! All we must do is come to Christ in Faith and Repentance for the salvation of our souls... please consider Jesus who loves you and wants to save you! If you are interested in knowing more about Christ you are invited to come and visit us at your earliest convenience, and if there is anything that we can do to help you, please do not hesitate to call on us at any time. May God bless you greatly!

Hola, somos la Iglesia Bautista Neva Esperanza y queremos extenderle una invitación a usted, a su apreciable familia y a sus amigos a visitarnos a nuestra iglesia lo más pronto posible. Somos un grupo de creyentes en Cristo, quienes nos reunimos con los simples propósitos de aprender más de Dios y Su Palabra, alabar a Dios y tener compañerismo los unos con las otros como una familia en Cristo. Estamos haciendo lo posible para alcazar a nuestra isla y nuestra ciudad con las Buenas Nuevas de Salvación. Si usted es un crevente en Cristo y está buscando una iglesia a la cual asistir, le invitamos que nos venga a conocer. Si usted no conoce a Cristo como su Salvador personal, le invitamos que medite en las verdades Biblicas que nos dicen que todo ser es un pecador y alejado de Dios, pero que Cristo murió en la cruz del Calvario en nuestro lugar, ipagando asi nuestra deuda! Solo necesitamos aceptar a Jesús con Fe y en Arrepentimiento para la salvación de nuestra alma. iPor favor considere al Señor Jesús que le ama y le quiere salvar! Esta usted invitado a visitarnos en su momento más oportuno y conveniente. Si en algo le podemos servir, por favor tenga la confianza de hablarnos o visitarnos y haremos todo lo posible por servile. ¡Que Dios le bendiga grandemente!
