Thomas:

I came to San Diego in 2005 to get my Master’s at UCSD.  I came to LBC because I knew that a friend came here for church.  Originally, I stayed out of habit, but eventually, I stayed because of the loving people and hearing teaching like I have never experienced anywhere else.

My time in Single Ministry was a great time of fellowship with other singles through activities or simply serving them through fixing their cars or other items.  I look forward to continuing to minister to the singles through more than just physical needs.

• Hobbies: Spending time with Karen and my daughter, Penelope,
• Fixing cars, fixing stuff up around the house.
• Favorite Christian Book: A Gospel Primer – Milton Vincent
• Favorite Bible verse:  Romans 8:18

Karen:

I first heard about Lighthouse when I transferred to UCSD for school in 2005.  One of my roommates was attending Lighthouse and invited me to join her my first Sunday in San Diego. I started attending regularly winter quarter because of the great teaching, accountability, and the love I saw people had for one another. I became a member soon after.  In 2009, I moved back home to San Jose for work but God brought me back in 2011 when Thomas and I got married and I’ve been at Lighthouse since.

I’m joining Single Staff because I want to be involved with the young adults at LBC in hopes to encourage and run this race for Christ together.
