Meet the Pastor
"Feed my sheep" (Jn. 21) is more than a calling; it's my passion. I delight in nourishing those I serve, both spiritually—through preaching and teaching the Bible—and physically, by sharing meals like pasta or Korean BBQ. Witnessing others find joy and growth in them fills my heart.
Raised in a Christian home in South Korea, I spent two formative years in New Zealand, embracing adventures like fishing, basketball, and barefoot explorations. At ten, during a revival at Kwanglim Methodist Church in Seoul, I felt a profound call to ministry. Responding to Bishop Rev. Sun-do Kim's invitation, I walked forward and received his blessing before thousands.
As I matured, worldly ambitions led me to pursue a double major in Business Administration and a corporate career at Shinsegae Inc., aiming for success and wealth. Yet, this path left me empty, leading to despair. In this darkness, God's grace illuminated my life. During a Wednesday service, I heard a divine voice urging me to resign immediately. Obeying, I felt an overwhelming warmth and committed my life to Jesus as my Lord and Savior.
The next day, I resigned, embarking on an uncertain journey that led me to Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC. There, I met my wife, Yeonmi, now an immigration attorney. We married in 2011 and are blessed with two daughters, Charis and Noelle.
Through this journey, I've learned that the essence of faith is being with Jesus - one thing is necessary (Lk. 10:42). Embracing Him as my greatest joy and treasure defines my Christian walk. God's desire is for each of us to experience this intimate fellowship, which He offers through His Son, Jesus Christ, who brings healing, forgiveness, and most fulfilling, abundant and everlasting life.
My mission is to share the life-changing name of Jesus, inviting others into fellowship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit so that we become enthusiastic Christians (little Christs), who stay with Jesus, be more like Him, and do His Kingdom work in every day life as we anticipate His return.
God is good—all the time! I pray that you believe in Jesus and that you and your household find salvation (Acts 16:31).
I look forward to meeting with you—whether in the pulpit, the kitchen, or both.
- Your servant in Christ,
Pastor Ho Kang
