OUR TEAM

Our shepherds devote themselves to prayer, to the ministry of the Word, and to equipping the believers to do the work of the ministry for glory of God.

Pastor Ben Ice - Elder for Teaching & Vision

Ben's passion is to serve the church by God’s grace with God’s Word for God’s glory (1 Peter 4:10-12). 


Ben grew up in Indiana, served as a pastor in South Carolina for 13 years, and has been serving at Lighthouse as the Senior Pastor since 2018. Ben has extensive training and experience in counseling. In 2005, with the help of ministry partners, Ben created and developed children’s discipleship materials called Truth Trackers. To learn more go to TruthTrackers.org.

Pastor Roger Willis - Founding Elder

Roger and Kathy moved to Simi Valley in 1980 and started Valley Bible Church which later became known as Lighthouse Bible Church.
