Earlier this spring the Staff-Parish Relations Committee was pleased to announce the appointment to our church of Pastor Steve Chu. His Asbury appointment will be shared with his current church service at Trinity-Boscobel United Methodist Church in Buchanan. He will continue to live in the Buchanan parsonage. By way of introduction, Pastor Steve shared this short bio:

“Pastor Chu is a New York City guy, born and raised in Queens, the son of Korean immigrants. He graduated from Hunter College with a BA in Media Studies and wild dreams of getting into the TV/film industry before discerning God’s call into pastoral ministry. This calling took him to Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC, where he earned his Master of Divinity. He served English-speaking congregations in Korean-American churches for the first five years of his ministry, and has served as lead pastor of cross-cultural churches since 2019. His journey has taken him from Long Island to Virginia and now to Northern Westchester. He is passionate about TV and movies, pizza and bagels, complaining about his favorite sports teams, and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. He is so looking forward to this new opportunity and serving the church and community in whatever way God leads.”
