Recently, our church community entered a new season of life and ministry as my wife and I began to serve as co-pastors. We became United — a nod to the heritage of our mother church, Korean United Presbyterian Church, while also symbolizing the new direction in which we believe God is leading us.

We have hope that God is building up a missional community of Christ-followers who will stand united with Christ as individuals, with one another as a diverse community and with God’s purposes in the world.

I designed the United logo, which you can view below.

The leaf is a reflection of this new season of life and growth in our community. The three leaves symbolize the Trinity — the basis for our life together and for becoming “a radical community expressed through diversity” participating in the mission of God in the world.

I recently updated our church community’s website as well — visit us at sdunited.org.

Currently, we’re just using a WordPress template — but one of the great features of WordPress is the ability to use a static homepage. This allows us to set up a more traditional homepage vs. bloggy-type feel for our site. The site is still very much a work in progress, but we’re getting there.
