Hyuksoo Brian Kwon is director of Asian Doctoral Studies and assistant professor of ministry, Korean Studies. He holds a BA degree in mechanical engineering from Hanyang University, South Korea. Following a clear sense of calling to ministry, he pursued theological education at Fuller Theological Seminary, where he earned both a M.Div. and a D.Min.
Dr. Kwon has a rich history of serving immigrant churches in Los Angeles, where he successfully established English Ministries (EM) in two congregations. His work focused on bridging the generational gap between first and second-generation immigrants, applying missiological principles to foster unity and growth within the church.
In 2012, driven by the concern that younger generations in Korea were increasingly distancing themselves from the faith, Dr. Kwon returned to Korea to plant a church. His diverse ministry initiatives include building communities for non-believers, leading small group multiplication movements, ministering to comfort women associated with the US army base, supporting online communities for mothers of children with epilepsy, and discipling Millennials and Gen Z individuals who have disengaged from the church. Dr. Kwon’s mission is to “raise leaders to advance God’s kingdom.”
Originally from Korea, Dr. Kwon now resides in Kansas City with his wife, Jihee, and their three children: Johaness, Joseph, and Ezra.
