January 2006 found Pastor Spencer accepting an invitation from a pastor friend in KY to attend the Gateway Jubilee, Spartanburg, SC which was under the leadership of Pastor Ray Stewart at that time. A warm, welcoming, and exciting spirit coursed through the meetings each night. 

As a result Pastor Spencer returned the succeeding 3 years and was greeted by the same spirit. 

A burden began to grow for the people ‘up north’ to have access to the same type of meeting. No agendas, no soap boxes or hobby horses, just sound, solid, and exciting Baptist preaching. In 2009, the first Lakeshore Jubilee was held. Pastor Spencer sought the assistance of Broadway Baptist Church of Muskegon to work with Lighthouse Baptist Church of Holland to sponsor the meetings. This has been done every year since, and a warm and brotherly spirit now connects the two congregations. 

The Jubilee spirit is anticipated and found each year by those that choose to attend. Our goal is to encourage the preachers as well as the congregations, and, one day soon, to be able to supply all the housing and food needs of visiting pastors, evangelists, and missionaries. 

Mark your calendar for the 2nd MONDAY OF JUNE EACH YEAR and come join us at the LAKESHORE JUBILEE!!
