Pastoral Reflections

Dear Church Family, Today, because of the inclement weather, we gathered not in our church building but in our homes, worshiping together through our RockSpring online service. During the COVID-19 pandemic a few years ago, I found myself in a similar place. I am not really a tech-savvy person and I had to teach myself how to use my phone to record messages, edit files, and distribute them to the congregation completely alone. I had no assistance, no sound system, no media tea

Dear Church Family, Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Due to the inclement weather expected this week, and out of deep concern for the safety of our congregation, RockSpring leadership has made the prayerful decision to cancel both our Friday and Sunday in-person worship services. This decision was not made lightly. It was made out of love, responsibility, and a commitment to care for one another well. I am grateful for our faithful leaders who cons

Dear Beloved Saints! When I was 10 years old, my family immigrated to Canada from South Korea. Despite my parent’s best efforts to explain the process to me, I had very little understanding of what was actually going to happen once we arrived. I spoke no English, knew nothing about the country that would be my new home, and understood even less the long-term ramifications of immigrant life. Nevertheless, I put my little hands into theirs and happily boarded the plane. You cou

Dear Beloved! Beginning this week, I am entering into an expository journey through the Gospel of Mark. If we confess that we believe in Jesus Christ, then at least once in our lives we must walk slowly, carefully, and prayerfully through the Gospels. For the Gospels are not merely books but they bear witness to the life of Jesus—His ministry, His compassion, His suffering, His death, His resurrection, and His promised return. The Gospels are entirely and exclusively about Je

Pastoral Letter Dear Beloved Saints! A historic moment in the life of RockSpring Church has begun this week. This moment is the fruit of seven years of faithful prayer by the leadership who longed for an English-speaking church here at DCMC. God has worked in His perfect time and in His sovereign way. Since my arrival—when I was appointed as the lead pastor of what was then the Bridge Ministry—only six months have passed. Yet within those six months, we have transitioned into

Dear Church Family, As we step into a new year, we are also stepping into something new that God is doing among us. In the coming days, we will begin a new 11:00 AM worship service—a fresh expression of our shared desire to seek the Lord, to listen to His voice, and to respond faithfully to His leading. New beginnings always carry a mixture of emotions. There is excitement and hope, but there can also be uncertainty and even fear. Stepping into something unfamiliar requires c

From the Pastor to you: As we celebrate Christmas, we are reminded that our RockSpring Church, like the manger in Bethlehem, was born in humility, faith, and obedience to God’s calling. Christ came into the world quietly, yet His coming changed everything. In the same way, RockSpring Church was not born out of human ambition, but out of God’s grace and divine purpose. It has now been several months since RockSpring Church was established, and as we approach the final stretch

From the Pastor to you: As the church enters the season of Advent, we step into a sacred time of waiting, anticipation, and hope. Advent is more than a calendar marking the days before Christmas; it is a spiritual journey that calls us to prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ—not only as a child in Bethlehem, but as the Lord who comes to dwell within us and to reign in our lives. In the midst of a world rushing toward holiday celebrations, Advent invites us to slow down

From the Pastor to you: I recently came across a very interesting set of survey findings. According to research by Barna and Cornerstone, among worshipers ages 18–29, 67%—more than half—preferred traditional worship over a trendy contemporary style. Even more striking, 77% said they would rather worship in a “sanctuary” than an "auditorium", and 65% preferred a worship atmosphere that is “quiet and sacred” rather than “loud.” In the wave of recent revival movements across U.S
