About United Methodism
The United Methodist Church is a global denomination that opens hearts, opens minds and opens doors through active engagement with our world. The mission of The United Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
John Wesley and the early Methodists placed primary emphasis on Christian living, on putting faith and love into action.
Rev. Dr. Brandon Cho
I was raised in Honolulu with dreams of becoming a medical missionary, but at 15, God revealed a different calling—to care for souls. Instead of becoming a medical doctor, I became a “soul doc.” I’ve earned my Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees from Claremont School of Theology and a Master of Sacred Theology degree from Drew Theological School. I remain a lifelong learner, continually shaped by God’s grace.
Throughout my ministry, I’ve been blessed to serve diverse congregations—from Southern California to New Jersey—and in roles ranging from local pastor to district superintendent and national director for congregational development. My passion lies in nurturing vital congregations and equipping disciples to transform lives and communities through Christ.
I’m married to Rev. Dr. Jennifer Cho, Lead Pastor at Bridgewater UMC. We are blessed with two adult children and two lively grand-dogs. We love traveling, music, movies, reading, dining with good friends, and walks on the beach.
