The Messiah Lighthouse Child & Family Development Center (MLCFDC) programs are Christian faith-based family development centers that partner with local congregations to assist the Springfield-area children and their families.

Messiah Lighthouse Child and Family Development Center, a ministry of Messiah Lutheran Church, complements the mission of the MLCFDC by providing childcare for up to 48 children and their families. Messiah Lighthouse opened October 1, 2009. We not only provide quality childcare, but also family support, accountability, and parental education. Our MLCFDC staff feels family support is so important, because parents are a child's "first and forever teacher".

MLCFDC is licensed and accredited by the State of Missouri for the care of children ages 6 weeks through 5 years.
