Our mission is to invite everyone to have a deeper personal and communal experience with Jesus, to actively engage in repairing the brokenness in our lives and our communities with the overwhelming love of Christ.
Pastor Sam Koh
Lead Pastor
Pastor Sam is a graduate of Biola University and received his M.Div. at Talbot Seminary and his Th.M at Fuller Theological Seminary. Pastor Sam is often found on campus casually hanging out in his flip flops, laughing really loud and fellowshipping with everyone. When he’s not on campus, you’ll find him on the streets of El Sereno inviting others to find refuge in God and in the community at Hillside. Pastor Sam resides in Orange County with his wife Shanie and son Benji. In his free time, you will find him surfing or fishing the Pacific Ocean, providing one of his greatest joys— to share his catch with his church members.
