About Us (Part 2)

This blog is to keep the members of the Lightswitch ministry updated on our members and the activities we do together. Lightswitch is the young adults ministry of Solid Rock Church and is comprised of young marrieds and singles who are high school graduates and older. We believe in the truth of the gospel that God sent his Son to earth both fully God and fully man to die on a cross for our sins and then rise again.

All who believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior can escape God’s judgment for their disobedience and instead have a relationship with him. That's why "Blind. Click. See." is the motto of our ministry. Christ clicked on the light through the gospel, and we hope that through our lives others will be able to turn on the light and see the truth of the gospel. If you’d like to learn more about us, visit Solid Rock Church for our 10 a.m. service on any Sunday or email us at lightswitchblog@gmail.com.

Shane Kohout (Writer) Shane is a senior studying History at Bowie State University. Recently he has been working at Giant Food store in the floral department (don't laugh!). Shane has been a member of Solid Rock Church for three years. One of his favorite things about SRC is the faithful preaching of the gospel every week. One important thing to know about Shane: he is never the mafia.

Mike Perry (Video Editor) Mike currently works as an IT Project Manager for NIH (National Institute of Health). Though he is skilled with computers, he wishes to someday have a job where he could talk to people all day long rather than work with computers. Mike has been attending SRC since June when he immediately began attending the membership class. He has just one more class to go and he’ll officially be a member of SRC! Mike loves the fact that in Lightswitch everyone is accepted, no matter their differing mannerisms or personality. Even though Mike has only been a part of Lightswitch for a short period of time, from day one he never felt like a stranger.

Ken Shepherd (Webmaster) Ken works as a writer-editor for a non-profit in Alexandria, VA, and lives with his lovely wife Laura in Takoma Park. He's been a member of SRC since November 2007. Ken graduated from the University of Maryland in 2001 and enjoys watching Terps football and basketball games. Ken's favorite thing about Lightswitch, has been learning how to walk together in a diverse community that glorifies God through living life together.

Aaron Spindler (Graphic Designer) Aaron possesses a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art from the University of Maryland and currently works as a waiter at the District Chophouse in downtown Washington, D.C. Aaron has been attending Solid Rock Church for about a year, and has enjoyed his time spent with Lightswitch. His favorite times spent with Lightswitch have been right after the events when everyone is winding down. Aaron enjoys the good balance of goofing off accompanied by conversations about the Lord.

Evy Taracena (Administrator) Evy is a stay-at-home mom who serves her husband Marlon and her two sons Marcus and Jaiden. Evy, Marlon, and Marcus came to SRC in June 2008 and ever since then they have been a part of Lightswitch. What Evy and her husband love most about the ministry is having fellowship with several couples in the same season as them. They also greatly appreciate the love and joy shared with the singles when they watch their little boys.
