Stephen Ro: Sr. Pastor
Growing
up
in the urban setting of Baltimore, MD, Pastor Stephen Ro has a
special love for the ministry in the city that brought him to New York
in 1991. He gave his life to Jesus at the age of 13 and committed
himself to God to be a pastor one day. After confirming a call to
ministry, he entered Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia
where he received an M. Div in 1991. His passion is to live and preach
the gospel of grace and wants to extend God's Kingdom by church plant
movement. He planted Living Faith Community Church in Queens, NY
through Redeemer Church Planting Center in 2000. As a church planter,
he has a desire to see the church planting movement go forward to
transform the entire city of New York. Pastor Stephen Ro is an ordained
minister of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) and a Board Member
of Pastoral and Laity Ministries (PaLM), and US NewsnJoy. He participates
in the PCA church planters assessment as an assessor and is a certified
Coachnet coach for pastors and church planters. He loves to play tennis
and
softball while thinking about church planting. Pastor Stephen Ro and
his wife Candice have three sons, Christian, Calvin, and Prosper.

His loves: Jesus, Youth (especially chubby ones), being married, Hymns, Dim Sum, mac's, ice cream, sushi, music, books and of course Halo 2. His dislikes: vegetarian hot dogs, cheese, soy milk (he gets bloated), romantic comedies (that seems redundant to me), and sweaty noses. He writes on his blog at www.peterong.wordpress.com.

Moses was born into a pastor's family. After numerous years of rebellion, particularly in his late teenage years and early college years, the saving grace of the Lord opened his eyes to embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ. Shortly after, he has committed his life to ministry. He desires to see unbelievers come to faith in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and for those in the faith to grow in Him. He met his wife Jenny in college, at Stony Brook University's campus ministry called Korean Christian Fellowship. They got married in summer of 2011. Jenny received her Master's in Education in 2011 and is en route to becoming an Earth Science teacher.
