Chris Jhu

Senior Pastor, Teaching Elder

Chris Jhu grew up in southern California's Orange County, spending his summers as a youth working in his mother's dry cleaning store and on the beach. He came to faith in his teenage years, and discerned a call to ministry in his senior year of High School. Only by the patient grace of God has Chris continued to grow in knowledge, obedience, and giftedness. From 2000-2011, Chris has been involved in leading youth ministry in one form or another. He graduated from Talbot Theological Seminary in 2011 with an M.Div., after which he moved to Buffalo with his family to serve as English Ministry pastor of New Hope Presbyterian Church. In 2016 Chris was ordained as a Teaching Elder in the Presbyterian Church in America. He is married to Ji Hye, and has two children, Collin and Audrey. He loves to preach and teach God's word. He's an unashamed nerd, who enjoys miniature wargaming, reading, and games of all kinds.
