Meet Our Team

I’m an unlikely person to be a pastor, but God works in mysterious ways. What gets me up in the morning is the chance to partner with God in his transformation of people into their glorious design. My wife, Diane, and I raised two wonderful girls. I’m an avid cyclist, average musician, coffee snob, book addict, DIY fan, and Marine Corps veteran. Let’s chat!

Jeannette is a Maryland native, a Jesus feminist, and a breast cancer conqueror. She graduated from Regent University, earning degrees in Organizational Leadership (B.S. and M.A.) and Practical Theology (M.A.). She enjoys pumpkin spice lattes, walks with her two golden retrievers, and spending time with her two granddaughters.

With 18 years of experience in creating contextual worship spaces, I am passionate about creating multicultural worship spaces that embody hospitality and mutuality. The journey of following Jesus is filled with wild turns and twists and I love walking with people as they follow Jesus.

With a professional history in Property Management​, Higher Education Administration, and Student Ministry, my journey has been very rich if not totally unexpected. When not crafting comms, my attention is usually on true crime, reading, cross-stitching (IKR?) or obsessing over the Steelers, Hoyas or PGA tourneys. My husband, son and dog have endless patience.

I am a second generation Korean American with a French last name from my step-father. On my mother’s side, I carry with me five generations of enduring faith, passed down from Korean missionaries.

I am proof that God has a sense of humor. I have degrees in environmental science, experience in corporate brand reputation, government relations, and tv news, yet I’m drawn to ministry and serving families well. I have two fierce and funny daughters, 7 pairs of running shoes and a sourdough recipe that’s worth its weight in gold.

After working in the finance and accounting field for over 35 years, I am now pursuing a new career as a wellness coach. I love connecting with people in a deep and meaningful way.

And my passion for wholeness and helping others improve their well-being and reach their optimal life, became my new mission!

I was born to a loving family in Wheaton, Maryland – Go Knights! I was blessed to be a stay-at-home dad. Helping Erin and Casey become caring and joyful adults was such a gift.

I love activities without time constraints, documentaries, culture/languages, community development, and everything active or outside.

Born in Peru, but I call the beautiful and diverse streets of Washington, DC home. Although bilingual in Spanish & English, my love for people has led me to study Mandarin to break down more barriers and form lasting bonds. My desire is to mirror the heart of God in all that I do: extending love and the gospel to all people, cultures, and nation.
