WORSHIP TEAM
The Worship Ministry exists to glorify God and lead the congregation in Christ-centered, biblically grounded worship. Rooted in Psalm 96:2, our team of singers and musicians is committed to declaring God’s truth and creating space for the Holy Spirit to move—both in our gatherings and in everyday life.
Chris, born in South Korea, was drawn to God through music from a young age. With a background in music education and composition, his passion is using music to help others see Christ’s beauty and respond in worship. He believes true worship is a daily posture, not just songs sung on Sunday.
Amey, originally from South Africa and now living in Daegu, South Korea, came to faith in 2022. Though informally trained, she has loved singing since childhood. She’s passionate about worship that is rooted in Scripture, encouraging believers to carry worship into every part of life.
Our heart is that all who join us—whether longtime believers or newcomers—would encounter God and be transformed through worship.
AUDIO/VISUAL TEAM

The Audio Visual and Media Team at Dongshin English Service is dedicated to enhancing worship experiences by managing all aspects of audio, visual, and media during services and events. The team strives to ensure that the congregation can engage with the message and worship without distractions, both in-person and through online platforms.
WELCOME TEAM
TBD: Waiting for a new leader
Our welcome team exists to care for the people in our church.
We believe we can love and care for each other because Christ loved us first. It is our desire to reach out with love to each and every person who walks through our doors.
We are available to help you connect with others in the church
through various opportunities and social activities.

COMMUNITY GROUP MINISTRY
Pastor Robert Wipf oversees a team of small group leaders (see our Community page) committed to knowing God's truth more deeply and helping others know it, too, in a welcoming and non-judgemental environment. These leaders facilitate group conversations about the Bible, considering how and why it is important to everyone. The groups are more than discussion meetings, however, as group members pray and socialize together, seeking to build meaningful friendships.
The small groups ranges from 5-20 people from all over the world and at different stages of life,
and are open to both Christians and those interested in Christianity.
Our community groups meet throughout the week in various locations and times.
