TROYHOPE History

Here is how God has led us thus far:


1992 Rev. Paul Lee who was Youth Pastor at the time also pastored English Ministry (EM) at the Korean United Methodist Church at Metro-Detroit (Troy KUMC). Rev. Daniel Chang evolved EM & Teachers worship to support Sunday School. 


1998 "TroyHope" was named officially with Rev. Jin Oh as the pastor who served as the Youth & EM pastor. Later Pastor Jin Oh pastored TroyHope only and Pastor David Ryu was the Youth Pastor. 


Late 2002 - 2007 Rev. David Ryu became TroyHope Ministry pastor and pastored for 5 years.


2008 - June 2016 Rev. David Kim became TroyHope Ministry pastor and pastored for 8 years. Rev. Kim was appointed as a DS in Michigan Conference. 


July 1, 2016 - present Rev. Anna Moon was appointed by the Detroit Annual Conference as the TroyHope pastor of Korean UMC at Metro-Detroit.

About our sanctuary

From Summer of 2016 to December of 2016 has been a very busy time at TroyHope of KUMC. 


New building was being built which includes Jr. High, Sr. High new worship spaces/classrooms and also the new sanctuary where TroyHope is worshiping in. Here are few of the highlights for TroyHope in the new Sanctuary! 


Nov. 20, 2016 3pm on Thanksgiving Sunday we (KUMC as one church) had the consecration worship of the New Building including new TroyHope sanctuary with our new Bishop of the Detroit Annual Conference, Bishop David Bard. 


Nov. 27, 2016 TroyHope worshiped in the new sanctuary for the first time. We also had an infant baptism on this Sunday which made it extra blessing to all of us. 


Dec. 4, 2016 TroyHope Ministry went to two worship services. New second worship service at 11am was added along with the original worship time as first worship at 9:30am for especially for Teachers who are serving at 11am. 


How blessed we are to continue to grow and to serve as one body of Christ for God's glory and Kingdom! Praise the Lord!
