Welcome Pastor Minyoung Han

July, 2026

Pastor Minyoung Han will serve at Sussex United Methodist Church for 50% of his time and will be with us at GUMC 50% of the time.

Pastor Minyoung was born in Göttingen, Germany, and moved to South Korea when he was eight. In 2018, he immigrated to the United States to pursue further studies. He completed a Master of Pastoral Care and Counseling at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary and a Master of Divinity at Garrett to facilitate transfer to the United Methodist Church. He was ordained in the Korean Methodist Church in 2010 and is in the process of transferring his credentials to the UMC.

He began his church leadership experience while working on his education. Pastor Minyoung has directed children’s ministry and served as Director of youth ministry for multiple churches in Korea, and he has served as Chaplain and Pastor in charge for the Korean army. While leading churches in the United States, he has also served as Leader of youth ministry, choir and worship band member, and music director. He has led churches in Kenosha, Elkhorn, and Delavan Wisconsin. Elkhorn and Delavan shared Pastor Minyoung (50%/50%) so he has experience with splitting time between churches.

Pastor Minyoung is currently serving on the board of Noah’s Ark Christian Learning Center at Sussex United Methodist, board member of Cooperating Churches of Sussex (CCOS) as well as working on ways to bring events to the community. He brings vast experience to areas where we have great need.

His leadership style is open, and Pastor Minyoung is eager to help us continue to grow. Please welcome Pastor Miyoung’s positive energy and fresh ideas to our congregation.

Grace & Peace
