OUR MISSION
Real People. Real Life. Real Love.
Searchlight is all about the mission. We want to be an authentic community committed to living like Jesus lives and loving like Jesus loves.


OUR STORY
Searchlight Church was born in the heart of Chris Colletti as he walked the boardwalk of Long Branch, praying for a church that people who didn’t go to church would love to be a part of. Searchlight began with less than 20 people meeting in a living room in early 2010, and kept growing.
Searchlight officially kicked off on November 7, 2010. Since then, we have been steadily growing and seeing dozens of lives changed along the way. Pastor Chris Colletti leads Searchlight with a strong vision and passion to see an authentic community committed to living like Jesus lived and loving like Jesus loves.
It’s a real, fresh movement of God – something we need in Monmouth County, and something you have to see to believe!
