Rev. Bob (Song Bok) Jon, Associate Pastor 617-489-0730
Bob has recently joined our community at BUMC. He studied theology at Yonsei University in Seol South Koreea. He received his MDiv from Boston University School of Theology in 2007 and a second master’s degree from Yale Divinity School, majoring in Homiletics. He is currently in the Doctoral Program of Theology at Boston University, continuing his major in homolytics. Bob says that he is drawn to preaching because " I have witnessed to the power of preaching that transforms the life of people, church, and society. Preaching also calls us to the presence of God to grieve over the loss, injustice, and suffering in this world, and to hope for the coming kingdom of God in which we fully realize the mercy and grace of God. "
Bob brings a variety of interests to BUMC including an interest in contemporary Christian music, a love of sports, reading, music and ... video games.
