Pastor
Dae-il Park
Pastor Daeil Park was born in Miryang, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea. Because of his father’s ministry as a Presbyterian pastor, he grew up in various church settings in different regions during his childhood. He came to faith in Christ as his Savior during his middle school years, and in his early twenties, while attending a Calvinistic Baptist church, he began reading and embracing the theology and practice of the seventeenth-century Particular Baptists. He completed his undergraduate studies, seminary training, and a master’s degree at Korea Baptist Theological University and Seminary in Daejeon.
He married his wife, Yunok Lee, in 2008, and they have five daughters: Yerin, Yebin, Yeseo, Yeju, and Yujin. In 2014, he planted Noeun Sola Reformed Baptist Church and has since devoted himself to the growth and advancement of Reformed Baptist churches in Korea.
