LEAD PASTOR
REV. PAUL M. CHUNG
Pastor Paul Chung is the Lead Pastor of Stony Brook Antioch Church. 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).
