Holy Trinity Church’s vision is to see Chicago transformed by the power of the gospel of Jesus, by engaging our city missionally, growing mature disciples and communities, and accelerating a movement of the gospel from Chicago’s neighborhoods to great cities and nations of the world.
Missional Ministries
Seeing Chicago transformed by the gospel requires missional engagement to connect people to God.
We help connect people to God through:
- Prayer – lifting our burdens, neighbors, colleagues, world and city to a God who hears
- Corporate Worship – encountering Jesus through song and preaching
- Reading the Bible – challenging ourselves deeper understanding and change
- Arts and Music – reflecting the creativity of Chicago’s diverse culture
- Ministry to the Professions – gathering vocational groups for encouragement
- Media and Communications – spreading the word

Sensing God's call to vocational ministry, he attended and graduated from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Massachusetts. His ministry in the Boston area included five years as founding Pastor of a young adult ministry as well as church planting downtown where he was Pastor for four years. He moved to Chicago to join the pastoral staff of Holy Trinity Church in summer 2009. Joseph, his wife Salina, and their son Connor currently live downtown near the Loop. He enjoys camping, hiking, and exploring good local eats in Chicago.
The purpose of HTC's missional ministries is to cultivate missional engagement with the gospel. Pastor Kim directs us in growing in prayer, repentance, cultural understanding, engagement and investment. The following ministries are under Joseph's care and direction:
