Our Pastors

Born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, KyungMo was a PK (pastor’s kid). He felt the call to ministry during his childhood, and found himself at Methodist Theological University, where he met his wife, SunAe, and graduated with a B. Th. After seminary, KyungMo served as a Marine Corps infantry officer at the DMZ for almost 3 years, during which he confirmed God’s strong call to save souls. KyungMo immigrated to the States, where he received his M. Div. from Wesley Theological Seminary and D. Min. from Princeton Seminary. He was ordained in 1997, and has served in cross-cultural/racial ministry for the last 23 years. Most recently, KyungMo served as senior pastor of Moore’s Chapel UMC for 12 years, and then moved to Reading, PA to serve at Lincoln Park UMC.

In 2019, KyungMo was appointed to serve as co-pastor (with his wife SunAe) at a church called Christ. Upon Christ Church’s disaffiliation from the UMC, KyungMo withdrew his membership from the Pen-Del Conference of the UMC and joined the Global Methodist Church.

KyungMo and SunAe believe that God will use them to witness across racial and cultural boundaries, affirming that God’s mission and grace are available to all persons.
In his free time, KyungMo enjoys watching movies, going to the gym, and eating his favorite treat, strawberry milkshake!

KyungMo and SunAe have two children: Justin is a field artillery platoon leader serving in Tacoma, WA. GaHye is in NY, working as a product manager at Amazon after finishing her MBA at Columbia Univ. Whenever the children come home, the Koo family sings a cappella because singing has been their daily family devotion to God throughout their lives in the States.

After having studied at Wesley Theological Seminary (M.Div.) and the Catholic University of America (Ph.D.), She began her full-time ministry at St. John’s UMC and Hart’s UMC in North East, MD in 2012. SunAe was ordained as a UMC Elder in 2014. After serving Mt. Salem UMC in Wilmington, DE, she joined her husband KyungMo to lead team ministry at Lincoln Park UMC in Reading, PA and now at Christ Methodist Church. Upon Christ Church’s disaffiliation from the UMC, SunAe withdrew her membership from the UMC and joined the Global Methodist Church.

Throughout her ministry experience, her practical theology and spirituality through the Eucharist have both deepened. She loves the Eucharist, and often tells people her favorite food is holy communion. SunAe’s vision is to share the love of God she has experienced in her life with the people of God. She also loves reading and going for walks in the park, and is most adventurous in the kitchen (with her husband as the guinea pig).
