About
Rev. Sangdae Park

박상대 목사는 목회자 가정에서 태어나,
고등학생 시절 주님을 구주로 영접하였습니다.
2011년 단기 선교사(통합 총회 및 충신교회 파송)로 동북아지역에서 선교 하던 중 "네가 나를 사랑하느냐"는 주님의 짧은 질문이 인생을 강하게 두드렸습니다. 그때부터 종국에 주님 앞에 서는 날까지 '마음을 다해 주님을 사랑한다고 고백' 할 수 있는 '성도'가 되는 것을 일평생의 소원으로 삼고 있습니다.
성도들과 함께 울고, 함께 웃는 목회자가 되고, 사는대로 설교하고 설교하는대로 사는 설교자가 되길 꿈꿉니다. 특히 추상화되고 종교 언어화 된 복음의 메세지를 초신자들의 귀에 들리고 쉽게 이해되도록 삶의 자리에서 번역하며 전하는데 깊은 관심이 있습니다.
김승아 사모와, 온유(딸), 진유(아들) 두 아이와 함께
소박하지만 행복한 가정을 이루고 있습니다.

Rev. Sangdae Park was born into a pastor's family and came to receive the Lord as his Savior during his high school years.
In 2011, while serving as a short-term missionary in Northeast Asia (sent by the PCK General Assembly and Choongshin Church), he was deeply struck by the Lord's brief question, "Do you love me?" From that moment on, his lifelong aspiration has been to become a "saint" who, until the day he stands before the Lord, can confess with all his heart, "Lord, I love you."
He dreams of becoming a pastor who weeps with his congregation and rejoices with them, and a preacher who lives as he preaches and preaches as he lives. He has a particular passion for translating the gospel message(too often abstracted and clothed in religious jargon) into the language of everyday life, so that it might reach the ears of new believers and be readily understood within the places where they actually live.
He is blessed with a humble yet joyful home, sharing life with his wife, Seung-ah Kim(Violinist), and their two children: Onyou (daughter) and Jinyou (son).
