“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.” – John 3:16

Pastor

Today, we exalt the Holy name of God, who lives and works in us. God put me into this lovely family at Hopewell UMC to serve here in Trinity, Archdale, Thomasville, High Point, and the surrounding areas. I am genuinely grateful for His Love and Grace. His Love continues today through the Hopewell United Methodist Church in this area.

I was born and grew up in South Korea and spent my elementary, middle, and high school years there. Then, I entered Methodist Theological University in Seoul, obtaining a bachelor’s degree in theology (B.Th.). After that, I enlisted in the Korean Army and served in the military. After I was discharged from the military, I studied at Methodist Theological Seminary for two more years from March 2005 and obtained a master’s degree in theology (Th.M.). I started the pastoral ordination course (Provisional Member) in 2007 and was ordained in April 2010 at “The Central Annual Conference of the Korean Methodist Church.” And as an ordained Methodist pastor (Elder in Full Connection), I have been serving God’s precious work to this day.   

<Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Jeshanah,
and named it Ebenezer; for he said,
“Thus far the Lord has helped us.”> -1Sam.7:12

Our church is celebrating its 202nd anniversary this year. We praise God for protecting and guiding this church over the past 200 years. Now we look forward to God’s new guidance and want to take it one step further. I want all of us to worship with love for God. I hope that we can be humble by fearing God. And we expect all of us to be people of faith who can trust God to the end of our lives. Hopefully, upon the Word of God, we will be able to participate beautifully in many of God’s works in this area through Hopewell UMC.

I am deeply grateful for the many ministries of loving and serving our neighbor our church has done so far - community dinners, Saturday breakfasts, shelter dinners, school donations, our preschool, and much more.
Now, you who are reading this can also participate in this precious ministry.
Let’s walk the steps that become the joy of God together!
The Lord is with us!

DAWN NUZZO
Director of Preschool Programs

As Director and Teacher of Hopewell Preschool our mission is to provide an inviting and inclusive preschool environment. We encourage learning between parents and children at home and at preschool through faith based education. Our teachers are CPR certified and background checked regularly to ensure safety and quality child care. Our church is a Safe Sanctuary Church which includes all staff having the appropriate criminal and child-welfare clearances, and have received direction for compliance with Safe Sanctuary Policy. We have expert teachers who encourage all students to play, learn and grow.  

I am NC Early Childhood Certified with many years working and teaching in preschools. I have also been a Sunday School teacher and youth leader at my church. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, my husband, Louie, and our two daughters, Lilly and Julianna.

I am grateful to Hopewell United Methodist Church for allowing me the opportunity to lead the children of the preschool in their educational growth as well as their journey with God. 

God bless you and we look forward to meeting you.
