EMMANUEL LIGHTHOUSE
UNITED PENTECOSTAL CHURCH
Emmanuel Lighthouse UPC was founded in the early 50's by Rev. Lewis Rabbie. The church has been at the same location throughout that entire period, although following pastors modified the existing structure. In 1997 the church purchased the adjoining property and home in view of future expansion. Emmanuel Lighthouse has enjoyed the ministry of quite a few pastors since the founding of the church by Rev. Rabbie. Following pastors have been: Rev. David Tolman, Rev. William Cooling, Rev. Paul Reynolds, Rev. Victor Leavitt, Rev. Wayne Kleinstuber, & Rev. Robert Fuller. In 1973 Rev. Ross Kingsley became the pastor, and dedicated almost thirty years of his life to pastoring this work. The church prospered under his leadership and many of the structural expansions to the building came under his ministry. In January of 2002 he was followed by the current pastor, Rev. Dustin Abbott. Rev. Kingsley has remained an asset to the church, providing leadership as an Elder and Senior Minister on Staff. The church has stood strong for six decades and has seen countless many come to know the Lord Jesus. It has also produced many ministers and minister's wives who serve the Lord in multiple countries. We also minister to the thousands of servicemen and servicewomen at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa.
