Pastor John Kim

Lead Pastor

I was born and raised in a Buddhist home. But when I was just 11 years old, my mom’s prayers and teachings led me to embrace Christianity. And then, during a soccer game, I had an epiphany and decided to dedicate myself to pulpit ministry. It might sound a bit strange, but looking back, I realize that it was all due to divine grace that I became a pastor and have remained one ever since.

After completing my studies at Tyndale, I graduated with an MDiv degree. My wife MeeYun and I have been blessed with three amazing kids: Charis, Sofia, and Kai. Serving at Bridgeway has been an incredibly fulfilling experience for me, one that I am eternally grateful for.

BTW, if you are an angler, I’d love to learn more about this fine hobby. We can swap Bible study tips and fishing techniques.

Our Leadership

Pastor Adriana Park

Childrens Pastor

I am living proof of the transformative power of Jesus Christ’s love—a love that brings true freedom and identity in Him. My heart has always been passionate about sharing His love, especially in children’s and women’s ministry. It brings me great joy to creatively share the good news of Jesus and witness the pure, childlike faith with which children receive Him.

Beyond ministry, I cherish time with my family and enjoy connecting with others over a warm cup of coffee and something sweet.

Pastor Jacob Paik

Youth Pastor

I am deeply passionate about guiding young individuals to apprentice under Jesus in the unique manner that God has designed them. My ultimate goal is to demonstrate a profound sense of connectedness that will enable the youth to establish a meaningful and transformative relationship with Jesus. In addition to my spiritual pursuits, I have a wide range of interests and hobbies that bring me immense joy and fulfillment. Stories, in particular, captivate my imagination and inspire me on a profound level.

Pastor Mee Yun Kim

Young Adults Pastor

My passion is to walk alongside people and to offer a space where people can enter more deeply into the person of Christ and into their own uniqueness.
Please come find me, I would love to get to know you and hear about what God is doing in your life!

Mackenzie Lee

Adminstrator

Ask me about our church history, I’ve been here since its inauguration back in 1999. I had the honour and privilege seeing what our Lord God has done and continues to do for our church. My life journey continues thanks to my loving wife, Hae Young, and our three offspring (Arianna, Elijah, Avery). I enjoy sports, tv/movies, music, travel and good food, as long as it’s a pesce-pollatarian diet.

Elder

Graham Richardson

Elder

I’ve been part of Bridgeway Church for nearly 15 years, all thanks to my wife, Deacon Jeannie, who invited me when we started dating. Eventually, the Spirit led me to become an Elder in 2017, mainly assisting with church governance and some teaching. We have four amazing boys: William, Alexander, Calvin, and Russell, who somehow make us proud and keep us humble at the same time. I enjoy Scripture, reading, camping, hiking, baseball, and D&D. Despite my struggle with names, please feel free to say hi!”

Jeannie Richardson

Deacon

I have attended Bridgeway since 2003 and became a Deacon in 2014. I have previously served on the Finance Team (a great challenge) and taught in the Children’s Ministry (a tremendous joy). I now serve as the Chair of the Deacon Leadership Team and oversee the Counseling Subsidy Program. My strengths lie in organization and working hard. The Lord is encouraging me to be more relational and to make space in my life for Him each day. I love Bridgeway Church!

Kelly Sohn

Care Ministry

I have been attending Bridgeway Church since 2013. I am currently serving in the Care Ministry and feel truly blessed and excited to see how God will work in and through our Bridgeway family

Mike Park

Youth Ministry

I want to clarify that while I’m not the oldest person at Bridgeway Church, I am the oldest active member. I’ve been with Mil Al Church since its beginning in a Mount Pleasant basement, before Bridgeway Church even had its name. I’ve served in various roles, from making sandwiches for the elderly to starting our first English ministry with only 7 members aged 9 to 25. Now, I help build and maintain our church. Witnessing two generations of growth, I’m grateful that the next generation will carry on and strengthen our faith.”
