Julie Allen

Julie Allen has served as the Director of Lighthouse Christian Learning Center for the past 23 years. Because of her tenure with Lighthouse, Julie has been able to make a connection with each student and watch them grow academically, spiritually, and emotionally. Her passion for what she does is reflective in the student body as a whole, as well as her staff.  Julie has a B.A. Degree is Business with a minor in Psychology. Prior to her Lighthouse career, she worked in Administration at a Psychiatric Hospital in Atlanta, GA.

In addition to her passion for LCLC, she has been active in the church at Lighthouse for the past 22 years. She and her husband, Dan (of 33 years) have led adult and college-age life groups at Lighthouse and she’s also been involved in Children's/Youth, and Women’s ministry throughout her time at the church. Dan and Julie love serving the Lord and being able to see God begin to work in the lives of others. Dan and Julie are founding members of MUSC's Living Donor Institute. Julie is a living donor (to Dan 15 years ago) and having a husband and 3 other family members who’ve experienced successful kidney transplants, organ and living donation is very near and dear to her heart. Julie and Dan have two sons, Patterson and Hunter and a daughter-in-law (Ciarra, married to Patterson).  They also have a  precious granddaughter, Emmalyn Lee, 3 1/2 years old, who is a student at LCLC.  Her family truly is her pride and joy!

Julie says, "I could could not be blessed with a more vibrant and gifted team of educators. They are not only committed to serving God through the children of Lighthouse, but are also committed to upholding the vision, mission, values, and standards we hold dear here at LCLC. They have a love and support for one another and our families that is most admirable."

Julie is committed to making a difference in the life of each and every Lighthouse student by teaching them how much Jesus loves them, instilling in them self-confidence and self-worth, providing a well-rounded academic program, showing love to them and their families, and making every day a positive and fulfilling experience.
