OUR LEADERS

Will Chung, Lead Pastor

‍What have I been up to these past couple years? Changing diapers, cleaning bottles and trying to be a present husband, father and friend. Born and raised in Seoul, Korea I now reside in beautiful Southern California. I have been in full-time ministry since 2008 and am now embarking on a journey to plant a church.
As a recovering workaholic I find myself longing to live a life of being present and available to God and others. My great desire is to live in union with God and to see Him in all things. My greatest honor is to do that alongside my family and friends.

Andrea Chung, Lead Pastor

Hi there! My name is Andrea and I was born and raised in Southern California and absolutely love the beach and warm weather. I enjoy meeting people and hearing their stories, eating good food and exploring new places. In my everyday life, you can find me changing diapers, singing Frozen songs with my daughter and trying new recipes whenever I get a chance!
Over the past few years, I’ve been on a journey of healing, rest and learning to be present in the everyday moments of life as a wife, mother and friend. It’s my greatest desire to know Jesus more deeply and intimately today than I did yesterday and live a life that leads others to do the same.

Jason Nettles, Connections and Outreach Pastor

Hi! A quick origin story about me. My name is Jason and I am a Korean Adoptee born in Seoul, Korea and then raised in Northern California by my wonderful non-Asian family. And believe it or not, I had no clue what the popular Korean food “kimchi” was until I was 27 yrs old. True Story! Moving on, April 5, 2001 is the day that I surrendered my life to Jesus. It is the best decision I have ever made. 
‍Fast forward to 16+ years of full time ministry experience and now I have assumed many roles, from pastoring in the local church, to traveling the world as a missionary, or galvanizing national campaigns to fill Stadium events and unite the local body of Christ. I love what I do and it’s an honor to serve the Lord in this capacity. Spoiler alert: I hate to disappoint you but I am just an ordinary guy who plays a ton of golf, and enjoys poker nights with the boys. Ultimately I am just trying to follow Jesus the best way that I can and tell others about him along the way.

Donald Gordon, Culture and Teaching Voice

I’m sorry did you say something? I could not hear you —  I was too busy getting 8+ hours of sleep at night. Did you say coffee? No thank you, I’d pass on pretty much anything that keeps me from my favorite hobby: sleeping! When I’m not sleeping you’ll probably find me washing dishes, doing laundry, or cleaning the bathroom during the weekdays. It helps set the stage for a peaceful evening with my wife and a weekend where I’m free to invite people over for a meal and/or take a trip somewhere that the kids would enjoy.
What do I do for work you ask? I help college students, including veterans, find ways to afford school. Otherwise, I’m inviting people into our space to eat, be heard, and be encouraged if at all possible. I wish I had more for you but that’s all I got!

Emily Gordon, Pre-K Director

Did you say coffee? Yes, please! I’ll gladly enjoy a cup of one of my favorite beverages which also helps me enjoy all my other favorite things – family, food, friends. As a native New Englander, I love spending time outdoors in nature and can easily lose track of time exploring new places & sights. Working in human resources as an introvert, being outdoors helps me decompress. I also love cooking almost as much as I love eating and am happiest enjoying a good meal with friends!

Danny Jung, Worship Director

Hi, my name is Danny! I was practically born into worship as my parents were worship leaders and served on a worship team since I was young.  It became so engraved into my life, I ended up majoring in it! With a newly earned degree in Worship Arts at Biola University, my heart is filled with faith and joy to be able to serve the people of God in this region; and specifically, Beloved Church.
I have a huge passion for christian creative arts, songwriting, and people. In my free time, I love playing basketball, watching shows, and hanging out with my friends.
