Pastor Jim Snell brings a life shaped by service, discipline, and compassion to his ministry at Lighthouse Baptist Church. Before answering God’s call to preach, he proudly served in the United States Air Force, where he learned the value of integrity, commitment, and teamwork. After his military service, he continued serving others as a police officer in Florida, protecting his community with courage and a steady sense of duty.
Today, Pastor Snell leads with the same heart he carried in uniform — a heart for people. His preaching is grounded in Scripture, marked by clarity, sincerity, and a genuine desire to help others grow in their walk with Christ. Whether he’s standing behind the pulpit, visiting families, or offering encouragement one‑on‑one, Pastor Snell’s goal is simple: to point people to Jesus.
He is known for his humility, his love for the church family, and his unwavering commitment to sharing the hope of the Gospel. Lighthouse Baptist Church is blessed to have a pastor who has spent his life serving others — first his country, then his community, and now his congregation.
