Pastor of Mosaics

Dr. Stephen Moon's journey from a Korean immigrant to Hawaii in 1983 is a powerful testament to the transformative potential of embracing diversity. Fueled by a profound conversion experience, he pursued higher education and theological training in San Francisco with a clear goal: dedicating himself to full-time ministry. As a children's and youth pastor, he developed a passion for serving unchurched second and third generations of Asian-Americans in culturally diverse neighborhoods.

Today, alongside his ministry partner and wife, Grace, Stephen leads Intercultural Mosaics, NWC, a visionary initiative promoting diversity through cross-cultural, multi-ethnic churches catering to Millennials and Gen Zers in the City of Davis and Sacramento Metropolitan Area. His impressive educational journey includes degrees from San Francisco State University, San Francisco Theological Seminary, and the Berkeley School of Theology at GTU, demonstrating his commitment to excellence.

Stephen is a dynamic transformational leader, known for his roles as an intercultural catalyst, evangelist, and Mosaics pastor. His diverse talents as a graphic artist, musician, and mentor enable him to nurture communities where Millennials develop their spiritual gifts and emerge as influential leaders, driving positive change. His lifelong fascination with diverse cultures has culminated in a metaphorical vision of assembling mosaic pieces to create harmonious communities, making him a shining example of embracing diversity and fostering inclusion. Envelope
