Rev. Dr. Grace Pak, PCC

FOUNDER
 

Rev. Dr. Grace Pak is a pastor, teacher, coach, strategy expert, trainer and workshop leader specializing in intercultural competency. Her lifelong calling, and ongoing mission, has been to build up the Beloved Community where the love for God and love for all people are boundless, and fulfilling the Great Commission of Matthew 28:19a – “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations…” Her cultural understanding and sensitivity stems from 45 years of living in liminal spaces between different cultures which began when she moved to the United States from South Korea in 1976.

As an ordained Elder in the United Methodist Church with over 25 years of experience in ministry, she served as the Director of Cross Racial/Cross Cultural Leadership at the General Commission on Religion and Race of the United Methodist Church, the General agency of the UMC, at various leadership levels throughout the Greater New Jersey Annual Conference and denomination judicatories, as well as an adjunct professor at Drew Theological School and pastor at local churches.

Grace loves gardening, traveling, golf, music, learning, cooking and spending time with her family – her husband and three grown children (son, daughter-in-law and daughter).
