Meet Our Leadership
Bill Bryson
Pastor of Lighthouse Baptist church
God sent my family and I to start a fundamental baptist church in the Tri-Valley not knowing anyone. We found a public school for our church to meet in and then began knocking doors. We had our first services in January 1992. In 2003 we merged with another church and changed our name to Lighthouse Baptist Church.
I love preparing and preaching helpful and life changes messages from the Bible and helping people come to a true saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour and then growing in their personal Christian walk.
My wife, Carol, and I have been married for 52+ Years. She is my best friend and coworker in the work of the Lord.
Matthew Houser
Assistant Pastor
I was blessed to have been raised in a Christian home. I was saved at the age of six and baptized at the age of seven. When I was thirteen, I answered God’s calling on my life and surrendered to full-time ministry.
I graduated from high school in 2021 and from Tri-County Bible Institute in 2025. I knew the Lord was calling me to the United States, but I didn’t know exactly where. I have always said, “Wherever You want me to go, Lord, I’ll go.” The reality of that commitment became clear when this native Floridian answered the call to serve as the assistant pastor here in California.
In December 2025, I joined the Lighthouse Baptist Church staff, and I am so blessed to serve here. Let us keep pressing on for the cause of Christ.
