Sanghyun Shim
Senior Pastor, IN2 Church
Pastor Sanghyun Shim traces his Christian roots to a martyr’s family in the early stages of the Korean church. His great grand father accepted the Gospel in 1895 from E. F. McFarland, who was a Presbyterian missionary from the United States.
Pastor Shim loves the church and enjoys praising God by playing the guitar or piano. He cherishes the happiness from reading the Bible, from doubts to getting answers. He has a vision of Koreans and non-Koreans worshipping and spreading the gospel together in Manhattan like the original Antioch church from the Book of Acts as a guiding model.
He graduated from Dankook University and Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary. He served at Seoul Yongnak Presbyterian Church and Onnuri Church as a pastor. He then came to serve as a pastor at Onnuri Vision Churches in Santa Monica, New Jersey, and New York with his wife and two sons. Currently, he is serving as Senior Head Pastor of IN2 Church in New York City.
