3 Ways to Help
Pray.
We believe that prayer puts miracles in motion.
When people pray, God moves. Your prayers will be the wind that our ministry rides in on as we seek to serve and reach the city of Athens.
Give.
We are seeking churches, businesses, couples and individuals who will partner with us financially over the next two years to help us launch Brighthouse Church.
Funding for Brighthouse Church is a two year plan. One year of pre-launch and the first year of the church. That total number is $550,000. Give online via the donate tab.
Go.
We believe that God may be asking you to join us and move to Athens, GA!
We hope that you will pray about joining our team. We believe in adventures and this might be one you were made for.
Our Pastors
Derek + Nikki Dale have spent the last 10 years serving as Pastors in various positions at Daystar Church located throughout Northern Alabama. The Dales were first drawn to each other because of their passion for the local church and missions. The Dales have a passion for encouraging the underdog, the church planter, the one with church hurt, the overlooked, the one grinding day to day, and the courageous entrepreneur. After 5 years of infertility, God gifted Derek and Nikki with a miracle through the birth of their son, Silas. Silas has followed in the footsteps of his father, and he loves people fiercely. Derek, Nikki & Silas love to travel, enjoy tasty food, and laugh loud, hard, and often.
Our Strategy
We have a vision to help the community find Him on a deeper level. It’s going to take discipline, focus, strength and commitment - with Jesus, we can do it.

Sunday Services
God wants to know us personally. More than just practicing religion, He wants a relationship with us. Our weekend services are where we focus on that relationship. Whether you're new to faith, have questions, or have been a Christ follower for a long time, our services are a safe place to learn more about what it means to know God and grow closer to Him. -
Small Groups
One of the ways God designed for us to live in freedom is to have people in our life to help us in the journey. Connecting with others in Brighthouse Small Groups is a practical and enjoyable way to find that kind of life-changing community. -
Growth Track
We're all an important part of God's plan, and our life will never make sense until we discover our purpose. The Brighthouse Growth Track is designed to help us take steps in the important process of discovering our purpose, and there are opportunities to attend every Sunday at Brighthouse Church. -
Dream Team
This is God's ultimate plan for our life--to make a difference in the lives of others. When we do, the Bible tells us we will experience joy. Through the Brighthouse Dream Team, we hope to connect every person to an opportunity to live out their calling by using their gifts and talents to serve others in the church and the community.
