PASTOR STEVE KIM

Steve grew up in Northern Virginia and aspired to be a mechanical engineer when he entered Virginia Tech in 1989. But before completing his second year, he felt God’s calling to ministry, a decision which guided him to attend Biblical Seminary upon completion of college. As he attended Biblical Seminary he was able to serve as a youth pastor in a small church in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. After completing seminary he became a college pastor at Emmanuel Church in West Philadelphia and served there for three years until he met his wife, Sooj on a missions trip. After their marriage, Steve became the pastor of the young adult group at Emmanuel church until he left to plant a church on City Line Avenue. In

four years, they had three precious children – Josiah, Christian and Abby. Josiah is the pensive drummer, Christian is the fun-loving wild child, and Abby is the little princess of the family.

In his free time, Steve loves to play basketball and watch movies. His dream would be to travel around the world enjoying the sights and sounds that each country has to offer. He and Sooj are both extroverts who love to socialize and they both love to eat! When he is not contemplating the wonders of God, he is often watching sports and likes crime dramas, but his most time-consuming activity these days is playing with his boys
