MEET OUR STAFF

Senior Pastor

REV. MAURICE YU

Pastor

Maurice was born and raised in Hong Kong. While serving in CBMC and working as an engineer, he was called to ministry. He earned his MDiv from Talbot Seminary and now oversees our growing church. One of his favorite bible verses is, “As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him” (1 Sam. 17:48), as it teaches him to have bold faith and that any threat can be God’s opportunity in disguise. Maurice, Meipo, and his two daughters are eternally grateful for the life and ministry God has given them.

While overseeing our college and young adult ministries, her aspiration is to be an “approved worker,” with no need to be ashamed as she rightly handles the word of truth (2 Timothy 3:15).

JIMMY LAI

Pastor

Jimmy was born in Hong Kong, but moved to the U.S with his family at the age of ten (1.5 generation). He accepted Christ as his personal Savior during his last year in college. After graduation, he worked in the neuroimaging research field before accepting his call to pastoral ministry. He received his Master of Divinity from Talbot Seminary. He has the privilege and honor of overseeing the college ministry. His passion is to walk with these students as they know more of God and of themselves. Jimmy’s daily prayer comes from Mark 9:24b, “I believe; help my unbelief!”
