    Pastor Chung was born in Chicago, Illinois, and was saved by the grace of God in Jesus Christ through the ministry of his home church - Hanmee Korean Presbyterian Church in the west suburb of Chicago. After a short-term mission trip to rural villages in southern Mexico during his high school years, Pastor Chung was called by the LORD into pastoral ministry upon being inspired by the preaching and sincere passion for the gospel in rural Mexican pastors and itinerant preachers.
     After devoting nine years to ministerial training and over twenty years of ministry to the Korean-American church, Pastor Chung was honored to be part of a team to plant Hosanna Presbyterian Church of North Dallas, co-located with its Korean church partners, as a missional arm of the Korean ministry to reach farther and wider for the gospel beyond the Korean context.
   Husband to Ashley (former preschool teacher for children with disabilities in Korea, who graduated with a bachelor's degree in childhood education from Chongshin University), father to Joy, Jonah, and son in the gospel, Ian Burns (in heaven), Pastor Chung enjoys preaching verse-by-verse chronologically through books of the Bible, creating gospel pamphlets for evangelism, budget getaways with his family, and prayer walks around the neighborhood. His special interest is in the "unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace" (Ephesians 4:3) where diverse linguistic, ethnic, and cultural contexts meet together in the church. He would love to get to know you, learn your prayerful concerns, help meet your needs and fellowship together in Christ. Please never hesitate to reach out - [email protected].
