Pastor Joon Ho Chung chose the English name Paul because he was inspired by the Apostle Paul's heart and ministry. Pastor Chung was born in South Korea in a Methodist Church family. He was raised and trained as a serious practical Christian from his childhood and was determined to be a pastor since he was five years old.

Paul studied at Methodist Theological Seminary, Pitzer College, Claremont Graduate University. During his schooling, Paul realized that what he was being taught did not give full authority to the Word of God, but rather was mixing in man-made ideas and degrading the authenticity of the Word. So Paul joined the WELS and studied at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary through its PSI program. Throughout this program he learned, trained, and grew in his faith of God with the blessing of the Holy Spirit. Paul is now filled with passion to spread the pure and untarnished Word of God to the members and neighbors of Peace Lutheran Church.  

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD! (Psalm 150:6)
