SERVANT-LEADERSHIP

John Hwang, Lead Pastor

John has been in full-time ministry since 1990 as a pastor, missionary, and worship leader in three different continents: North America, South America, and Europe. The call to ministry came to him when he was 14 years old, and since then, God has opened doors for him to teach His word in churches, conferences, camps, and colleges. His preaching style is expositional with a strong emphasis of Christ in the Biblical text.

John is married to Jill, and they live and serve in Huntington Beach, CA.
