Pastor Charlie Park

Born in Korea and raised in New Jersey, Charlie had taken his first steps as a full Korean-American in the streets of Jersey City when his family emigrated from Korea in 1987. He could not have known then that God also had plans for him to take his first steps as a minister there. So, it is written in the book of life that Charlie was prepared to share his life with the lives of fellow servants of the Lord, and his neighbors in Christ UMC of Jersey City. Charlie received his B.A. from Rutgers University, and when he finally answered the calling from the Lord, he was awarded with an M.A. in Religious Education from New York Theological Seminary.
