Hello, I’m Jiwon Yoon, originally from South Korea. I studied theology at Seoul Theological University and later earned my Master of Divinity at Drew University in New Jersey.

​

I’m married to Somi Kim, who loves coffee enough for the both of us (though she insists I’ll be a true coffee drinker soon). Together, we dream of raising a puppy, staying active, and enjoying quiet cafés with good books.

​

As a pastor, my vision is clear: to raise disciples whose lives can change the world. My hope is that faith is not only something we believe, but something people can see in the way we live, love, and serve.

​

A few words that describe me:
Disciple. Servant. Introverted. Tech-friendly. Bassist. Lover of biblical archaeology. Liverpool fan. Occasional Blogger. Night-view admirer. Stargazer. Health-minded. 

Halethorpe - Relay UMC welcomed Pastor Jiwon Yoon and his wife Somi Kim to our church family on Sunday, July 6, 2025. 

 Pastor Jiwon (PJ) and Somi are a great blessing to HRUMC, bringing new breathe of God and moving of the Holy Spirit within the church and our surrounding neighborhood.                                                                                              

PJ and Somi have been visiting members in and out of the neighborhood.

The visits have been interesting for all involved, and their smiles speak volumes.  PJ was able to spend time with the VBS youth volunteers this July.

PJ has also been busy helping deliver the school supplies

the HRUMC family donated to Halethorpe Elementary School and Relay Elementary School. A mission we hope to continue throughout the entire school year!
