Established in 1975 upon Christ-centered values and principles, Lighthouse seeks to provide vocational services, educational enrichment, and community integration experiences for persons with developmental disabilities to promote personal growth, opportunity, and hope for their future.

Lighthouse offers career-centered programs such as the Vocational Training Program, where persons learn job skills and interpersonal skills in a sheltered workshop, and Employment Services, where participants work at local businesses to grow in vital job skills. The organization's day program includes creative skills such as music and painting and practical skills like cooking and baking. Lighthouse also offers 16 online classes, with focuses such as joyful movement, book clubs, social clubs, art, music, baking, and gardening.
