LEAD PASTORS

DEJI and Bukky consider it a privilege to serve as Pastors at Lighthouse. They are uniquely gifted to connect with people from all walks of life, teach God’s word with simplicity and inspire hope. They are passionate about transformation and life change and rely on God to do this work in the lives of people they minister to. Most of their time is spent parenting their two children, serving in ministry and juggling the demands of thriving careers. When not doing any of the above, they will be found travelling, watching a movie, or sports, either together or with family.
