Born in Denver, Colorado, Pastor Mahlon Ozmun was raised in a Presbyterian Church where his father served as an elder.  He attended the University of Colorado and after beginning a career as a Financial Analyst and Stockbroker, he felt a strong call to the ministry.  With an open heart and a desire to reap the benefits of the Lord's unique plan for his life, Pastor Ozmun (Oz) enrolled at Rhema Bible Training Center, where he learned both practical and spiritual truths.  After graduating in 1987, he married Jane Gervase, also a licensed and ordained pastor from Rhema, and the couple began their ministry at Cornerstone Christian Fellowship in suburban Denver. There they served for three years as both the Assistant Pastor and Youth Pastor.

In 1991, Pastor Oz and Jane felt the Lord calling them out of Cornerstone Christian Fellowship, after much prayer and fasting they moved their family to the Detroit area where they waited for the leading of the Lord.  A short time later, Lighthouse Christian Fellowship (LCF) began meeting at the Birmingham Community House in Birmingham, MI. LCF currently meets at Pilgrim Congregational Church in Bloomfield Hills, MI.

Pastor Oz and Jane hold fast to the biblical truths and principles taught at Rhema. For over 10 years they have helped the congregation at Lighthouse Christian Fellowship realize their full potential as spiritual leaders in today's society. They have counseled and restored the hearts of broken marriages, families dealing with addiction, and survivors of abuse.

As both an evangelist and teacher, Rev. Jane Ozmun regularly exhorts the congregation  of Lighthouse. Her evangelistic style and heart stir up the faith of the congregation and reinforces the vision for both Lighthouse and it's members. Rev. Jane Ozmun has also traveled and ministered God's truths to women regarding such topics as P.M.S. and menopause. Being a minister's wife, a mother to three, and a Pastor herself, Rev. Jane Ozmun has a unique perspective on the trials and difficulties women face. This perspective has opened the doors for countless women to be encouraged and set free. As well as being a vital tool in the five fold ministry, Rev. Jane is also the LCF Office Administrator, coordinating the helps ministry and paid staff.  

It has been more then ten years and both Pastor Oz's and Rev. Jane's hearts still go out to Birmingham and the surrounding communities.  This desire to reach out has opened doors for both Pastor Oz and Jane, to be recognized as Chaplains, working within local law enforcement. Both Pastor Oz and Jane are trained in crisis counseling as well as spiritual counseling.  On November 27, 2000, Pastor Oz was sworn in as the first official volunteer Chaplin for the Birmingham Police Department. Since then, Pastor Oz has also accepted an invitation to become the Chaplain for the Birmingham Fire Department. In the time since Pastor Oz and Jane completed the Chaplains program, several members of Lighthouse have gone on to become certified Chaplains.
