About Us

Thanks for checking out the Lighthouse Vineyard website. Lighthouse Vineyard Church is led by lead pastors Adam and Rebecca Kishtainy and you can find out more about them here.

“We’ve been married since 2005, we have 3 young children and a grown-up foster son and we have lived in Totterdown since we got married. We have been quietly growing the Lighthouse from its start in November 2018 and were delighted to be officially launched as a charity and commissioned as lead pastors in March 2023.”

Adam Kishtainy - Lead Pastor

“I started off my working life setting up a charity that used music as rehabilitation in prisons, then trained as a music therapist and since then I’ve worked with all sorts of people including fostered and adopted families, child bereavement and dementia. In 2022 I ended my NHS work as a music psychotherapist with adult mental health inpatients to develop private practice in South Bristol offering personal therapy & clinical supervision. I am also Senior Lecturer on the Music Therapy MA at UWE.”
