Lighthouses: Global Homes of Prayer | Altar'd Global Church

Global homes of prayer

Light
houses

Scripture says a house of prayer. We build houses of prayer — plural, global, and in the places people already live.

What it is

A commissioned home, not a satellite campus

Acts 2:46 · Romans 16:5

A Lighthouse is a household that has been trained, covered, and commissioned to open its doors as a hub of prayer for its community.

It is not a church plant with our name on the door. It is not a small group waiting for a building. It is a home consecrated as an altar and equipped to disciple — where neighbours come to pray, where families get rebuilt, where the doctrine of the apostles is taught, and where new leaders are raised up and sent to open houses of their own.

The early church did this. It met house to house. We are simply doing it again, with the internet as the connective tissue instead of a Roman road.

A household gathered outside the home that hosts their Lighthouse

Who hosts one

Ordinary households

Not staff. Not campus pastors. Families and single believers who opened a door, learned the order of a prayer gathering, and kept showing up for their street.

How a Lighthouse is lit

Five steps, in order

Step one

Consecrate the home

Before anything is scheduled, the house is prayed over and set apart. We walk your household through consecrating the physical space and establishing a daily altar in it.

Step two

Be trained and covered

Hosts complete Lighthouse training with our leadership — the order of a gathering, how to teach the doctrine of the apostles, how to disciple the people in your room, how to spot and raise the next host, and how to recognise when a situation needs more than a room can give.

Step three

Be commissioned

You are formally commissioned and sent by Overseer Pastor Avery and Apostle Taushauna, and your Lighthouse is added to the map. This is a sending, not a signup.

Step four

Open the doors

You host on a rhythm you can actually sustain. You stay connected through The Altar’d House, you are covered in prayer, and you never carry your city alone.

Step five

Multiply

As the room grows and people mature, a Lighthouse divides — and what was one house becomes two. Your first house never stops being yours; it simply stops being the only one.

How a house becomes a movement

One becomes two. Two become four.

Acts 2:42–47 · 2 Timothy 2:2

Lighthouses are built to divide. That is not a failure of the first house — it is the whole point of it.

We follow the pattern of the early church: believers gathered house to house, devoted to the apostles’ teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer. Those houses did not stay one room. They multiplied across a city and then across an empire.

So we teach hosts to disciple, not just to gather. As people in the room mature, some of them are trained and sent to open a house of their own. One house becomes two. Two become four. The teaching stays the same in every room because it came from the same table — and the reach doubles without the founder having to be present.

What you commit to as a host is not a meeting on your calendar. It is a line of people you will never meet, who will be discipled because you opened a door.

What we ask of a host

Order, honor, assignment

A living altar

You pray in your home before you invite anyone else into it. A Lighthouse cannot give a city what the household does not have.

In step with the house

Lighthouse hosts hold to our statement of faith and stay in real relationship with our leadership. You are not sent out to figure it out alone — you are walking with people who have already walked it, and who are answerable to you as much as you are to them.

A sustainable rhythm

Monthly is enough. We would rather have a Lighthouse that burns for ten years than one that blazes for six weeks and closes.

Discipleship, not just gathering

A Lighthouse is not a prayer meeting that waits on a pastor. Hosts are trained to teach the doctrine of the apostles, to disciple the people in the room, and to raise up the next hosts from among them. You are being built to build.

Knowing what is yours to carry

Some things a household walks through need more than a room can give — medical, legal, or crisis situations. Training covers how to recognise those, who to bring in, and how to keep loving someone while other help does its work. Wisdom about your limits is part of leadership, not a lack of it.

The map

Every home an altar.
Every leader a lighthouse.

Each square is a household. The lit ones have been consecrated, trained, and commissioned as homes of prayer.

If your household is meant to be one of them, the door opens with a conversation — not an application queue.

Apply to host

Start the conversation

Tell us about your household and your city. Someone from our leadership will reach out personally — this is a discernment process, not an application queue.
