About Us

  • The greatest purpose in your life is to: KNOW God, GROW together, and SERVE the world —

    and we believe if more people live into this, it would transform the world.

  • We get to KNOW GOD through participating in weekly worship.

    We GROW TOGETHER through engaging in small groups.

    And we SERVE THE WORLD through various local and global mission opportunities.

Our Global Church

We are a United Methodist Church, one of the 500+ churches within the Greater New Jersey Annual Conference. The United Methodist Church is a 12.8-million-strong global church that opens hearts, opens minds and open doors through active engagement with our world. John Wesley and the early Methodists placed primary emphasis on Christian living, on putting faith and love into action. This emphasis on what Wesley referred to as “practical divinity” has continued to be a hallmark of United Methodism today.

  • Pastor Jisun (G-Sun) has been engaged in ministry for over twenty years and was ordained in the United Methodist Church in 2022. Prior to receiving her M.Div. from Drew Theological School, she pursued Early Childhood Education at Bergen Community College and obtained her B.A. in Christian Studies (with a minor in Child Studies) from Seoul Women’s University. Jisun is dedicated to working with young disciples and nurturing their spiritual growth. She holds a special interest in pastoral care and is currently advancing her studies with an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Montclair State University. Through the Word of God, prayer, and her presence, she is committed to sharing God’s grace with those in need of comfort.

    Jisun is married to Kenny, and they are blessed with three children—two in college and one in high school. She treasures her morning coffee and embraces the joy of lifelong learning. In her free time, she especially enjoys reading a novel or biography and then watching its film adaptation. Recently, she has taken up running and looks forward to participating in future races. She also delights in spending time with her beloved dog, Snooper.
