North Canton United Methodist Church’s (UMC), 3 Case Street, welcomed its new minister, Reverend Doctor Oon Don Choi, this summer at the church’s July 6 worship service.
Pastor Oon Don was born in Seoul, South Korea. He earned his master of divinity at Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University, and his doctor of ministry at New York Theological Seminary.
Oon Don, as he prefers to be called, served churches in Oklahoma and New York before moving to Connecticut to pastor the Hartford Korean Methodist Church. He and his wife, Ana, have four adult children.
At the request of the congregation, every service ends with a blessing in English and Korean.
