Rev. Yun Kim
Pastor
I was born in Seoul, South Korea. My parents were Methodist, so I naturally adapted myself to Christianity. I personally met God when I was 17. The God of love I experienced is almost indescribable in the human sense. In March of 1995 I began studying at Mokwon University Theolgical School in South Korea. I am a graduate of Wesley Theological Seminary in Washingtotn, DC.
I met my wife, Jenny, when I was 15. We were married in December 2003. Now I am the father of two daughters, Emily and Abigail.
I previously had the privilege of serving two faithful communities of God. I was the pastor of Brucetown UMC in the Winchester District and an associate pastor of the Korean United Methodist Church of Greater Washington.
"No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in each of us and his love is made complete in us.”
- 1 John 4:12

Office Manager
My husband Kevin and I began attending St. Peter’s in 2011 and we just love the warmth of the congregation and how special St. Peter’s is. Prior to becoming the church secretary in January of 2023, I was a former middle school social studies teacher and preschool teacher.
In our free time, we love to travel with our daughter, Violet, as much as we can. Most of our travels are with our camper making lots of memories. Usually camping with us, we have our basset hound, “Lo Dog” and our Holland lop bunny, “Albert” with us in tow. If we aren’t camping, you can probably find us at Disney World. We are so grateful to God for his many blessings and watching over us.
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

Jen Kahler
Director of Children and Youth
Hanging out with my husband Dwayne and our three children Zach, Jacob and Aubrey is my favorite thing to do. We all enjoy the great outdoors, especially camping, swimming, fireside sitting and riding our 4wheeler. We also enjoy playing with our pets Bagel, Sadie and PJ.
My path led me to St. Peter’s in 2010 and it has been a real blessing. The children and youth that I get to spend my time with are all amazing individuals and make my “job” seem less like a job and more like a joy.
"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, I used everything you gave me."
