Every two weeks, children and teenagers in Ternopil gather for a special Lighthouse event — a place where they can feel loved, encouraged, and valued. These meetings are filled with laughter and energy: we play games, discuss important topics, enjoy snacks, dance, and most importantly, share the love of Jesus Christ.

Through every game, song, and conversation, Lighthouse continues to be a place of joy, growth, and faith, leaving a lasting impact on every child who walks through its doors.

For 12-year-old Sofia, Lighthouse has become more than just a fun event — it has helped her grow. She has been coming since the very beginning, enjoying the games and music, but one topic especially touched her heart. “I really thought about friendship after our last meeting,” she shares. “I looked at my friends differently and realized what it means to be a true friend.” These gatherings inspire her to reflect, learn, and apply new lessons in her daily life.
