John Kong

RUF Campus Minister

I was born in Nashville, TN but grew up in Taiwan from the age of 3 until graduating high school. I graduated from Vanderbilt University and worked in an investment bank for 7 years before sensing God calling me to ministry. I received my Master of Divinity from Westminster Seminary California, and served as a pastor of a church in Escondido before coming up to do RUF Berkeley.

I love hanging out with students, whether it is grabbing a bite to eat, watching sports, playing games, or just chatting about life. What I love most, however, is walking alongside students as they discern and mature in their relationship with God. I am married to Amanda (who happens to be a UC Berkeley alum), and we live in San Francisco.
