LEAD PASTOR
REV. PAUL M. CHUNG
Pastor Paul Chung is the Lead Pastor of Stony Brook Antioch Ministry. It was in his early college years when he attended Stony Brook University that God spoke through a single Bible verse in Habakkuk that began his journey into ministry: “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.” Working as a bi-vocational pastor in ministry and as a dentist for 17 years, Pastor Paul eventually went into full-time ministry and planted New Heart Mission Church in 2009 (now located in Hicksville).

However, with a God-given heart & desire to plant a church in the Stony Brook region for over two decades, the Lord has graciously opened the doors for Stony Brook Antioch Ministry to be planted in early 2024. Today, among many things, Pastor Paul is gospel-coaching pastors in the United States, as well as actively involved in missions work in Uganda, Africa.

Pastor Paul is married to his wife Ellen, and is blessed with three adult-children: Timothy, Daniel, and Elizabeth.
