🌟 The Lighthouse Project

By James A. Norkawich – America’s Composer

Shining Light Through Faith, Family, Country, and Music

The Lighthouse Project was born out of a simple yet powerful truth: music has the power to heal, to inspire, and to bring people together. In a time when division and uncertainty often dominate the headlines, I felt called to create a space where the arts could once again be a source of unity, faith, and hope.

Much like a lighthouse guiding sailors safely to shore, this initiative serves as a beacon — reminding us of our shared humanity, our deep roots in family and community, and the unshakable foundation of faith.

The Mission

At its core, The Lighthouse Project is a Christian-based movement designed to:

  • Promote music as a healing force for individuals and communities.

  • Support artists and musicians who share the values of faith, family, and country.

  • Create opportunities for outreach to youth, veterans, and families in need through concerts, workshops, and storytelling.

  • Encourage positivity and resilience by offering a platform for voices that uplift and inspire.

This project is not just about performance — it’s about purpose. Every note, every lyric, and every conversation is dedicated to restoring light where there is darkness.

The Team

I’m grateful to be joined by an extraordinary group of artists and voices who believe in this mission. One of the most significant partners in this journey is Jackie DiMaggio — “America’s Sweetheart.” Her gift, her story, and her heart for people perfectly align with the goals of The Lighthouse Project. Together, we are building something that goes beyond music — something that touches lives.

In addition, The Lighthouse Project welcomes voices from all walks of life — musicians, speakers, educators, and leaders — including those from health, fitness, and community wellness. Because true healing and inspiration involve the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.

Why Now?

For decades, I’ve dedicated my life to creating, performing, and teaching music. I’ve seen firsthand the way a song can move someone to tears, the way a lyric can bring back memories, and the way a performance can restore hope.

But I also see a generation of young people, families, and communities that need a light. They need to be reminded of the strength found in faith, the bonds of family, and the pride of country.

That is why I started The Lighthouse Project. Not as another stage or spotlight, but as a movement — a chance to take everything I’ve learned and experienced and use it to bless others.

The Future of The Lighthouse Project

The road ahead is filled with opportunities. We are working toward:

  • Hosting concerts and events that blend storytelling, music, and testimony.

  • Creating a podcast and media presence to share inspiring conversations with artists, leaders, and everyday heroes.

  • Partnering with schools, churches, and organizations to provide outreach programs for youth and families.

  • Developing collaborations with nationally and internationally recognized artists who share our mission.

This is only the beginning.

Join Us

The Lighthouse Project is more than my dream — it’s an invitation to be part of something bigger. Whether through music, mentorship, or simple encouragement, we all have the power to shine light in someone else’s life.

Together, we can remind the world of what truly matters: God, family, country, and the music that connects us all.
