Yumi moved to Canada in the summer of 2016 with her husband and their six-month-old daughter, as her husband began theological studies. She now lives in Willoughby, Langley with her husband and their four children—two girls and two boys.
Before coming to Canada, Yumi worked as a mathematics teacher at a Christian school in Korea. Since immigrating, she has been actively involved in church-based educational and mission programs, where she has enjoyed connecting with people from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds. Through her role as Intercultural Ministry Coordinator at Cloverdale United Church, Yumi is grateful for the opportunity to support and walk alongside individuals and families as they build community and belonging.
Cloverdale United Church recognizes that we worship, live, work, and play in traditional and unceded territories of Coast Salish peoples: primarily the Katzie, the Kwantlen, the Semiahmoo, the Snokomish, the Stolo, the Tsawwassen, and the Wsanec. We give thanks to and for them; we offer our respect to those ancestors who may be interred in this land. We seek to live with respect in this piece of Creation; we seek peace and justice among all who have called this land home.
Tuesday to Friday: 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
