I first started coming to Lighthouse at the end of 2008, after graduating from UCSD. Over the past few years, I have really grown to love the Singles Ministry and everyone in it! It is such a unique stage of life, where people are striving to shine the light wherever they are, whether in school or at work. I joined Admin Staff so that I could serve and encourage my brothers and sisters to continue running the race for Christ together. Hobbies: Baking, cooking, eating….. I also enjoy spending time outdoors and reading, even though I don’t do it much. Favorite book: A Quest for More by Paul David Tripp Favorite Bible Verse: Romans 8:28

In the summer of 1998 I was in the process of looking for a new church. Some friends of mine told me about a new church that was starting up later that year called Lighthouse Bible Church. I started attending the bible studies just to check it out and I really enjoyed the focus of the church. So I committed to making LBC my home church and became one of the charter members.

I came to LBC for the first time back in 2006, I became and member shortly after and got involved in different ministries.  I moved back to my hometown of Sacramento in the winter of 2008 and served back at my home church.  This past May of 2011 I moved back to San Diego because God opened up the door for a new job.  I quickly jumped on the opportunity to be back in San Diego and became a member once again and am now serving for the glory of God.
I am serving on Single Life staff because I want to be involved in the growth of the young adults at LBC.  I served as a high school youth sponsor while I was back home and was humbled by God’s work in such young souls.  I hope at LBC I would be a faithful servant to encourage and grow alongside my brothers and sisters in Christ.

I started consistently coming out to LBC in 2007 and stayed because of the solid Biblical preaching and friendly people who desire to honor God.  I grew up in San Diego, but moved to L.A. to attend UCLA (go bruins).  I came back to SD for pharmacy school at UCSD; I am now a pharmacist.  I joined staff because I enjoy the fellowship the Single’s Ministry provides (though I think the name makes it sound more like a dating service than a church group) and a have a knack for organization.

  • Favorite Bible verse: Hebrews 11:1

Maria:  My classmate brought me to Lighthouse in my first year of grad school.  I loved it and decided to stay.  I joined singles staff so that I would be able to share my enthusiasm about God with my fellow believers.  I would love to continue to spur on our singles group’s love for God and be a part of this great ministry at Lighthouse.

While not knowing what a God-glorifying church looks like and how to look for one, God graciously brought me to Lighthouse Bible Church using two dear friends of mine in fall of 2002.  And it was at this church that I came to know Christ as my Savior and Lord by God’s grace.
“O taste and see that the LORD is good; how blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!” (Ps. 34:8).  “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD and whose trust is the LORD” (Jer. 17:7).
Since coming to know Christ, it has been quite a journey living my life according to God’s way.  But how awesome it has been to put my trust and hope in God alone is ineffable.  And I want others to experience this and genuinely worship God.  Hence, I am stoked to continue serving as staff in singles ministry to point fellow single adults to know God’s Word and live out one’s faith according to It.
  • Hobbies: spending time with people; watching movies
  • Favorite Christian Book:Humility  by CJ. Mahaney

Hello, I came to Lighthouse about 6 years ago.  I have been serving on Single Staff for a few years now, and I continue to recommit to this ministry because God has given me a passion to see the Singles of Lighthouse grow in their walks with Jesus Christ, and for God’s name to be made known.
