We would love to meet and get to know you. Here is just a little about the staff at Lighthouse.
Pastor Keith enjoys living the dream of his life by being involved in the lives of his Lighthouse family.
He came to St. Louis in 1982 with his sweetheart wife, Becky, to establish this Baptist Bible Fellowship church formerly known as Dorsett Road Baptist Church before relocating in 1996.
The Gillming's enjoy eating at Bandana's BBQ, and any Mexican restaurant around. He also enjoys fishing for crappie and golfing with Lighthouse friends.
Pastor Keith has three theological degrees; first from Baptist Bible College, then Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary and finally, his doctorate from Covenant Theological Seminary in 1998.
He has served on many boards, Director on the Pattonville School District, St. Louis for 7 years; Vice President of Education for the Baptist Bible Fellowship, Int. for 9 years; and recently appointed as a police commissioner for the City of Bridgeton, MO.
Keith and Becky have two wonderful children, Kit, and Keri (husband, Scott Riddle) and three grandchildren, Owen, Hudson, and Piper…the joy of their lives!
