Our Exodus out of a Cult...
It seems impossible until it happens to you… Kathryn and I have been on a journey out of darkness and into the light of Christ. Neither one of us ever imagined the possibility that we could have been involved in a cult or a cultlike structure. Kathryn and I are of average intelligence and have a small bit of common sense. We both love God with all of our hearts and we love “His” Church.
You Were in a Cult?
...A rude awakening from a harsh reality
Yes, the Lighthouse Inc., Church is a cult.
Yes, Evangelist/Pastor Barbara is it's leader.

So begins our rude awakening from a harsh reality. There were subtle errors that we chalked up to being in warfare. Our former pastor (Evangelist/Pastor Barbara Lynch) was a devout follower of Christ. When she was teaching the Bible, she never strayed from its truths. What we didn't know and often times overlooked were small changes that seemed insignificant in the moment. Looking back at these small changes as a whole and putting all of these “little things" together, we now understand that the purity of the Word of God had been eroding away. Compromise had come into her and thusly flowed into our lives. This flow would forever change us.
The cult began and we had no idea that we had transformed into this ugly thing. The Lighthouse Inc., Church has hurt so many people under the leadership of Evangelist/Pastor Barbara Lynch. We had hopes for the promises of bringing in the lost and ministering to them. This became a battle ground for all manner of abuse.
The Truth...
What is a cult?
A “cult,” in a broad sense, can be any group that aggregates around specific beliefs or practices. In a biblical context, however, the term most often refers to a group claiming a connection with God while denying or corrupting essential doctrines of Scripture. Many such groups present themselves as teaching the true Christian path but depart from core biblical teachings in ways that undermine the message of the gospel. source - Bible Hub
What makes the Lighthouse Inc., Church a cult?
The Lighthouse Inc., Church has the specific belief that the Bible will no longer be taught during their services. The leader of the Lighthouse Inc., Church (Evangelist/Pastor Barbara Lynch) has heard a voice tell her that the Bible does not work. This voice has also told her that the Bible is not needed in their worship services.
The Bible says the following:
1 Timothy 4: 10 - 14 (Amplified Bible)
10 It is for this that we labor and strive [often called to account], because we have fixed our [confident] hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe [in Him, recognize Him as the Son of God, and accept Him as Savior and Lord]. 11 Keep commanding and teaching these things. 12 Let no one look down on [you because of] your youth, but be an example and set a pattern for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in [moral] purity. 13 Until I come, devote yourself to public reading [of Scripture], to preaching and to teaching [the sound doctrine of God’s word]. 14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, [that special endowment] which was intentionally bestowed on you [by the Holy Spirit] through prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands on you [at your ordination].
Matthew 28: 19 - 20 (Amplified Bible)
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.”
2 Timothy 3: 16 - 17 (Amplified Bible)
16 All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and6 restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; 17 so that the [a]man of God may be complete and proficient, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Therefore: fitting the definition by denying or corrupting essential doctrines of Scripture. This undermines the message of the gospel.

This message was posted 9 months ago but it was given in November of 2024. This is actualy when the teaching ended. In December of 2024 the endless praise and worship sets began.. At this stage it had been 6 months since Evangelist/Pastor Barbara Lynch gave a literal teaching. Look at their youtube page screenshot taken 9/24/2025.
As you can see on their web page. This message was given November 24, 2024. 6+ months of just continuous praise and worship and nothing changed. Then the voice that she listens to tells her to have a revival and have teachings. My wife has emails where she was told to give a message. The rest is history.
