Having received most of his higher education from institutions near the Boston area, Dr. Um has acquired a unique awareness for the various intellectual and cultural issues confronting Bostonians. He is a graduate of Phillips Academy at Andover, and Boston University where he read Sociology and Philosophy. After receiving a call to ministry, he entered Seminary at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary where he received an M. Div. and a post-graduate degree (Th.M.) in Biblical Theology. He received his Ph.D. in New Testament studies at St. Mary’s College (University of St. Andrews) in Scotland. Furthermore, since the beginning of 2002, Dr. Um has been teaching New Testament studies as a faculty member of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He has a burden to propagate the vision of kingdom expansion through church planting to prospective church planters studying in our nation’s seminaries.
For the past 18 years, Stephen and his wife, Kathleen, have been involved in several Presbyterian Churches throughout the Northeastern part of the country. They began their ministry by serving at a church in Hartford, CT for a couple of years before planting a multi-cultural college church at Brown University in Providence, RI. From there, they moved down to New York City for five years where they sensed God’s call to plant a young professional ministry. He is now the Senior Minister of Citylife Church in Boston, and the author of The Theme of Temple Christology in John’s Gospel, The Library of New Testament Studies 2006, T & T Clark International (formerly the Journal for the Study of the New Testament Supplement Series). Stephen is a member of the Board of Directors for The Gospel Coalition, for which he serves as the Secretary. Citylife Church in center city Boston is an ethnically diverse group of professional and creative urbanites.
