OUR CORE TEAM

TONY CHON

Director of English Ministries

Pastor Tony, aka P.T. grew up 2,100 miles east of ROLCC in Chicago, IL which has birthed the greatest pizza and basketball player the world has ever seen. After graduating seminary, P.T. got married to his beautiful wife Ruth and they moved to Taiwan. After pastoring in the city of Tainan for about a year God called them to serve at a Korean Church in Texas for 2 years. God eventually led their family back to Chicago where P.T. was a youth pastor at a Chinese Church for 8 ½ years. God has blessed P.T. with 4 crazy kids: Hope, Hosea, Hudson, and Hosanna. Even though P.T. is a diehard Chi-Town sports fan he is contemplating on switching to Dub Nation now that his family lives in the Bay Area. Lastly, P.T. is a fanboy of K-Pop and K-Drama so if you ever want to gossip about Hallyu Stars you can hit him up.

PEARSON LAU

Youth Pastor

Pastor Pearson was born and raised in SoCal. He was saved in the Korean church and his spiritual life was nourished by fervent prayer and kimchi-jjgae. After his undergrad at Biola University, he moved to Chicago for seminary at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. It was there he met his wife Melissa (aka. "Mo") and served as both a Pastor and an English Pastor in a Chinese heritage church. After 15 years, he and his wife were called back to California (even though one could argue that SoCal and NorCal are really different states). He loves biking, kettlebells, coffee, reading, hiking, and since marrying his wife, has developed a fond affection for pugs.
