Pastoral Staff

Meet Josh and Shauna Lee! Josh was saved at this church in 2001 after being honorably discharged from the Marine Corps. He served as Youth Pastor at Lighthouse from 2004-2009 and then as Senior Pastor of Cornerstone Assembly of God in Atlanta, TX where the Lord used him to rebuild the church, build an outreach center, and a dynamic full gospel church from 2009-2019. In 2020 he came to Lighthouse as the Senior Pastor where he currently serves and wants to see his hometown impacted with the message of Jesus Christ. Josh is a student of God’s Word and passionately delivers sermons with a desire to see people meet the power of God through them. He met and married his wife Shauna in 1998, while he was on active duty. She is from Pennsylvania but has been in Texas long enough to call herself a Texan. She has faithfully served in the background of Josh’s ministry until recently she accepted a staff position at the church and walked away from her years of teaching in public school. They have 5 children (3 bio and 2 adopted) and their grandkid journey is happening and increasing very rapidly. Together, they look forward to serving the church and Texarkana for as long as the Lord desires them to.
