Pastoral Staff

  • Senior EM Pastor

    Pastor Jo currently oversees the English Ministry, with a focus on young adults and married couples. Raised in Torrance but now calling Irvine home, he's a graduate of UCSD with M.Div from Talbot School of Theology, earning his ordination in 2022. His journey in ministry at Disciple Community Church began in 2017 and shortly after in 2019, he began a lifelong partnership with his wife, Shardae.

    Jo's extroverted personality excels in his leadership to bring people together and his love for sports shines through in his enjoyment of watching the greatest sports teams like the New England Patriots and the Chicago Bulls. His true passion lies in helping people know Christ and grow in their knowledge of God, and witnessing our Ordinary Ministry flourish as a unified body of Christ.

  • Worship and College Pastor

    David currently oversees the worship and college ministry at Ordinary Ministry. He graduated from Talbot seminary in 2021 as an M. Div student. He’s served as a youth and worship director since 2015 and joined the Ordinary and Disciple staff in July 2023. He was ordained in 2024 to the Korea Presbyterian Church in America (Kosin). He is the husband to his lovely wife Sabrina.

    He is a little too serious about his love for the Phoenix Suns and the Dodgers. (It’s a weird combination.) And coffee. Just so much coffee.

    In terms of ministry he loves, theology, music, and is passionate about not just understanding the Gospel not as just information, but understanding it at an intimate level.
