Carlos Acosta discerned a pastoral calling on his life at the age of fourteen. After devotedly serving his home church in Carson, CA for over eight years, he decided it was time to take a step of faith and attend seminary. Carlos is now a second-year MDiv student at Princeton Theological Seminary. Carlos also earned a B.A. in Psychology from Azusa Pacific University and is more than excited to be interning at the Presbyterian Church of Deep Run this fall.
Yujin Chu is a second year MDiv student with a deep interest in children’s ministry along with young adults ministry. He loves to see the smile on the children’s faces, but what really energizes him is the administrative side of ministry. As a former business major, Yujin was always interested in business and the administrative parts of the church fits right it. He has always wondered what keeps the church afloat? How does it raise money and how does it decide to spend money. Yujin currently lives in La Canada, which is a small suburb in the Greater Los Angeles county. His Korean heritage is huge part of who he is, “As a Korean, I have heart for the culture and respect plays a huge role in it. In my ministry I strive to be respectful to all people. I want to respect their thoughts and never want to push them aside as if they insignificant. This also plays a huge role in the respect I give to my elders and senior pastors. But I don’t want to just show respect to my elders but strive to respect everyone whether it is clergy or laity. Thank you looking forward to serving.”
