Kevin:
Hi, my name is Kevin and I’ve been married to Mabel for a little over 2 years. My experience at Lighthouse Bible Church has taught me to love God, His Word and His people, and through the ministry at LBC I’ve grown tremendously in my faith. I joined SingleLife staff several years ago while still single myself, and took a short break after getting married. I look forward to working with the Single adults’ ministry again while coming alongside people in prayerful support and love through small groups. When I’m not at church you can probably find me at home with my wife or in the hospital working. Sometimes, you’ll even find me playing an occasional pick-up soccer or ultimate frisbee game

Mabel:
Hello! My name is Mabel and I have been happily married to Kevin Tse for a little over 2 years. I grew up in sunny San Diego and moved away to attend UCLA for college and grad school… GO BRUINS! God brought me to Lighthouse in 2005 and God’s been faithful in growing me so much these past few years through the faithful preaching of our elders. When I’m not at church, you can find me at home with my husband, hanging out with friends and family or in the classroom (teaching first grade). I’m so thankful for this opportunity to serve the singles and I’m super excited to be part of this ministry!

Hello, my name is Patrick Cho and I serve as the senior pastor at Lighthouse Bible Church. My wife Christine and I were married in October 2005, and we have one child, Eden Cassie, who was born in August 2008.
I grew up in a Christian home and have lived in San Diego almost my entire life. Although I accumulated a lot of knowledge about the Bible and a basic understanding of the facts of the gospel as a child, it was not until my early years of college that God graciously saved me. He helped me to realize that I was living purely for myself and had not surrendered my life to Christ’s lordship. I praise God for my salvation and now strive to live in the strength He provides all for His glory.
Some of my favorite hobbies include singing, playing guitar, cooking, and reading.
In 1999, I received a B.A. at the University of California in San Diego, where I majored in European History and minored in Philosophy. I also received an M.Div. from The Master’s Seminary in 2004. My high school friends used to say that I would be the most likely to become a pastor. I thought about it as far back as high school, but I decided to actually prayerfully pursue it while I was in college. During my third year at UCSD, I decided that there was nothing else that I desired to do. Although other career opportunities were presented to me, I felt the Lord’s call into ministry. Others in the church and in my family affirmed that they saw how God had gifted me to serve in this way, so after much prayer and consultation with various pastors, I submitted my application for seminary in the summer of 2000. By God’s grace and sovereignty, I served on staff at LBC throughout my seminary training.
I love Lighthouse! The people of LBC have always been very special to me. It is not common to find a congregation of believers so hungry for God’s Word and so sacrificial in their ministerial service. Those who visit the church often comment on how warm and friendly the people are, and others are encouraged by the family atmosphere that characterizes the fellowship. The weekly teaching from the Word is also something that stands out about LBC because it is a commitment to God’s truth that drives our overall ministry. The church is aware of our desire to uphold a high view of God and a high view of God’s Word, and the leadership is aware that the equipping of the saints will only be accomplished by the dedicated teaching of the Bible. I am thankful that Lighthouse is a church that can be characterized by its uncompromising commitment to the Word of God and its genuinely loving fellowship.

I was born and raised in the Inland Empire (heard of it?), but have been in SD and at LBC for 8 years now to do my undergraduate and medical school studies at UCSD. I’m currently a 4th year medical student and am in the midst of applying for residencies. I absolutely love music (listen to pretty much every genre of music minus screamo and death metal, and I play the drums and cello). I also am a huge fan of LA Sports franchises (especially the Kings, who play a sport called hockey). I love Jesus Christ and the Gospel, which is the source of my happiness and love for people.

Howdy. I’ve been a San Diegan since 1979 and agree that San Diego lives up to its name “America’s Finest City” I graduated from UCSD with a BA in Economics and am currently a math teacher at a local middle school. I am a charter member at LBC and thoroughly enjoy serving here alongside everyone else. Some things I really enjoy doing are eating good sandwiches, jamming with other musicians, watching slapstick comedies, and bodysurfing at Scripps Pier.

Hi. My name is Joyce Kim (also known as “kaj”). In His sovereign plan, God brought me to Lighthouse Bible Church in Fall of 2002, which is when I moved down to San Diego to attend UCSD. He graciously allowed me to hear the Gospel message and granted me the understanding of it during my first year at this church. Since then, it has been a tremendous joy (though hard always) living my life knowing God. I am grateful and stoked! for the opportunity to serve God specifically in Singles Ministry. I studied General Biology at UCSD and currently am working at Scripps Memorial Hospital, La Jolla as a Nuc Med Assistant and a ER Tech. I love to hang out with people, hear how God’s been working in their lives, and also enjoy together God’s blessings like… steak… and… sashimi…

Hello! I graduated UCSD in 2008 with a B.S. in Computer Science and currently work as a Software Engineer at Novatel Wireless. I enjoy playing tennis and making music in my leisure. I’ve been attending Lighthouse Bible Church for 4 years now and have grown much in my knowledge of and love for God since my salvation in 2005. As young as I am, I wish to have others experience the same growth as I have. Let us grow in Christ together!

I recently married Peter Park, so it hasn’t been too long since I have moved on from the singles ministry. I have decided to come back and serve you in the single adults ministry because I really enjoyed my single years of life in maximizing my time for the glory of God and desire to pass that perspective on to you. I look forward to come alongside you and invest in your life, that you would come to know Jesus, deepen in your love for Christ, and cultivate your fear of the Lord. It is my desire to encourage the singles of Lighthouse to carry the gospel to their schools, homes, work places, and families so that Christ will be exalted. I currently work through the night as a registered nurse at Kaiser Permanente. On my free days and nights, I enjoy playing sports (football specifically) on an open grass field, being with my family, and making cards. I hope to run this Christian race with persevere alongside you so that Christ is magnified.

Hi! Single’s ministry. My name is Tim and I’m glad to be part of single staff again. I was married last year to my lovely wife, Leah, in which we are also eagerly expecting our baby girl due early 2010. It has been exciting walking with the Lord all these years, as he has faithfully see me through many trials and circumstances. Moreover, I was fortunate enough to have Godly parents who came along side me, as well as many brothers and sisters over the years, whom God has place at the right season to minister and encourage me to grow. I believe there are a few things God has really placed upon my heart, and that is to have a passion for missions, to encourage the next generation to grow and lead, and lastly to strive to be a spiritual leader for my family. Thus, it is my hope that I can be an instrument in which God uses me to edify and encourage the single’s ministry; through my own walk and experiences to minister to you all. Please just come and talk to me, as I am very approachable and hope we can strive and grow together in Christ!

I grew up in LA and its suburbs (Walnut/Diamond Bar area) and moved down to San Diego in 2005 after undergraduate school. I have attended LBC since 2006 and have grown so much from the biblically sound teaching and the fellowship in Christ with brothers and sisters who take their faith seriously. I was saved by the grace of God in 1998 at a youth retreat, when God illumined my heart not just for Christ to save me from my sins, but to the fact that He must be Lord over the entirety of my life. I am thankful to be on staff in our Singles ministry at LBC. It is my humble privilege to come alongside my peers to make known the name and glory of God in Christ Jesus our Lord, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

I’m excited about this opportunity to join the single’s staff. I have been with Lighthouse Bible Church for a little over ten years now. I am happily married to Joyce who has been with our church for the past 7 years now. I am originally from L.A. and I studied Electrical Engineering while I was a student at UCSD. I have a great passion for God and music, and I have been given the opportunity to lead the praise team on Friday nights. On my free time, I love playing basketball with my friends and singing songs. It has been such a great blessing to watch our church grow for the last ten years, but our time here is limited as my wife and I are planning on moving up to San Jose to help with the church plant.
