Peter immigrated from South Korea to Dallas, Texas, at the age of eight. Four years later, during a traveling revival meeting, he sensed God’s call to dedicate his life to Christian ministry. That calling has shaped a lifelong journey of learning, service, and discipleship.

Peter earned both his B.A. and M.A. degrees from Wheaton College before serving in China, where he taught English at Jiangsu University and developed a deeper passion for cross-cultural ministry. Upon returning to the United States, he completed his Master of Divinity at Princeton Theological Seminary and, in June 2026, earned his Doctor of Ministry degree from Union Presbyterian Seminary in Charlotte, North Carolina.

For more than 28 years, Peter has served as an ordained minister in a variety of settings. He has helped start and develop ministries in ethnic and immigrant churches in Raleigh, Chicago, and Greensboro, where he founded an independent multiethnic congregation. During his 11 years in Charlotte, he served as a professor and Director of International Students at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, worked as a pastor and consultant for a large church, helping launch its sixth campus, and partnered with numerous nonprofit organizations.

Peter is passionate about building bridges across cultures and generations. Drawing from his own life experiences, he is committed to proclaiming the gospel, loving God’s people, and making disciples both within and beyond the walls of the church.

Peter and his wife, Kyung-Ae, have been married for 26 years and are blessed with two young adult sons. In his free time, he enjoys sports, fitness, learning new things, and sharing meaningful conversations over a good cup of coffee.
