He served as a Worship Leader for JCF for 1.5 years, is currently a House Churches shepherd and village leader, and continues to seek how to best to follow God’s will in every aspect of his life.
Elaine McCann
Elaine McCann came to know about the Lord through youth group. However, It wasn't until her senior in college, where the previous pastor of JCF, Don Kim, spoke on sin and missing the mark. Her eyes were finally opened that I'm a sinner if I had been living my life the way I want it instead of the way God has created for it to be lived- in a loving relationship with Him and allowing Him to Lord over my life. She's married to the JCF pastor Young Su McCann and has a son and daughter. She's been faithfully serving the church through many roles at the church throughout the years and continues to grow in her faith as God has continued to show his grace and mercy. She's dedicated to seek and save the lost through her Deacon role and will serve the church in whatever way the Lord guides.
