Paul Kyu-Jin Choi

Dr. Paul Kyu-Jin Choi serves as the Lead Pastor of Village Church in Portland, Oregon—an intercultural congregation of over a thousand members representing dozens of nationalities. Since its intentional transition from a homogeneous to an intercultural community in 1990, Village has become a model of multiethnic ministry in the Pacific Northwest. Born in South Korea and shaped through ministry across New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Dr. Choi’s pastoral and academic vocation centers on cultivating communities of reconciliation rooted in the gospel and enlivened by missional imagination. He holds a Master of Divinity from Regent College and a Doctor of Missiology from Western Seminary.
