Rev. Jason Hong is a graduate of
Concordia Seminary,
St. Louis (class of 2001). He was
ordained and installed as pastor of Grace Lutheran Church on July 17,
2005. While Pastor Jason has quite a sweet tooth (he really likes
chocolate!), his true passion lies in preaching and teaching Jesus Christ.
He firmly believes that the Gospel "is the power of God for the salvation
of everyone who believes" (Romans 1:16). Working together with the family of
faith at Grace Lutheran, he hopes to further God's mission of seeking and
saving the lost with the same Gospel message that saved him. Soli Deo
Gloria!
