6The vision for Lighthouse Tabernacle Apostolic all began on January 1, 2011, when Pastor Stephen Hogan received a call from the Lord to start a church in Montréal. Pastor Stephen began planning and evangelizing. He found a location in July of 2012 in the Roxboro Pierrefonds region located at 10364 Gouin West, Roxboro. Pastor Hogan started having Bible study services on Wednesday nights.
In October of 2012, that building could no longer be used. Discouraged and with the congregation being scattered, Pastor Hogan and his wife had a service in a nearby park in the Roxboro region (Parc de la Promenade-Lalande). A week later, Pastor Hogan was visiting someone who needed prayer. It was at that prayer meeting that he met sister Sophia Obidigbo. Sister Sophia Obidigbo invited Pastor Hogan and family to her home the following week for a prayer meeting. That prayer meeting took place at 8626 Rue Basswood # 133, Roxboro. Lighthouse began having services on Sunday nights and that group increased in numbers weekly.
In 2014, after planning for two years, Lighthouse Tabernacle Apostolic stepped out in faith to officially launch the ministry. Lighthouse started looking for a place to rent and found their current location at 5020 Salaberry Montréal, Quebec. Advertising and preparation of the space began in March of 2014. The first official service at their new location was held on May 4, 2014.
Since the formation of the ministry services are held in English, French, and Spanish and as of March 16, 2023 Lighthouse became a part of the United Pentecostal Church International organization under the Quebec District.
