Meet The Pastor

Senior Pastor JR Lightstein
JR Lightstein My wife Carrie and I have been married for 27 years and we have been blessed with 4 beautiful children (3 boys- Nate, Jeb, Zach and our daughter is Trinity). In 2008 I answered God’s call into full-time ministry and in 2022 I answered the call to become the new Senior Pastor here at Westshore Christian Church. Prior to joining Westshore, I ministered at Midland Christian Church in Midland, Michigan for 9 years and at Nesconset Christian Church on Long Island, New York for 4 years. We are excited for this new chapter in our lives here in Holland! My deepest desire is for the members of Westshore to live lives of freedom together in Jesus Christ. As we live lives that reflect the Son, people will be drawn to our church. As people are drawn to our church, they will hear the life changing message of Jesus Christ. I am sold-out in my commitment to Jesus and His Holy Word. I consider it the greatest privilege, honor and blessing to serve my family here at Westshore Christian Church.
