Stephen Shaver

Stephen came to Incarnation as Rector in 2018 after eleven years of ordained ministry in California, Washington State, and Texas. Just before joining us, he completed a Ph.D. in liturgy at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. He has served several parishes and also spent time as a hospital and hospice chaplain. He has also served for several years as a trainer at the College for Congregational Development, a training course for lay and clergy leaders in the church.

A "third culture kid," Stephen grew up in Korea, Pakistan, and Russia before coming back to the U.S. for college. He loves traveling, hiking, running, and cooking, and is an avid choral singer. In his life as a liturgical scholar, he is the author of Metaphors of Eucharistic Presence: Language, Cognition, and the Body and Blood of Christ and Eucharistic Sacrifice as a Contested Category: A Cognitive Linguistics Approach, as well as a number of journal articles.

Jun Kim

The teachings and guidance received from great musicians, teachers, colleagues, and great human beings from all walks of life have made Jun the passionate musician he is today. His training in piano began in South Korea, leading to undergraduate studies at Manhattan School of Music and graduate studies at the Conservatory of Music at Purchase College. Having been inspired by Anthony Newman (organ), Arthur Burrows (voice), the choristers of St. Luke’s Parish (Darien CT under the direction of Erich Balling and Neal Campbell), and the boys at St. Thomas Choir School (NY), he chose the path of church music ministry. After serving as choirmaster and organist at Grace Church (Whitestone, NY) and Christ Church (Tarrytown, NY), Jun was called to serve St. John’s Episcopal Church, Oakland, CA, as Minister of Music. There, he worked tirelessly in building an all-inclusive music ministry where children of all ages come together in faith and song - sharing the gift of music that he had received. In 2018, family circumstances returned Jun to his home state of New Jersey, giving him an opportunity to serve St. John’s, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, during the pandemic. In fall 2022 Jun and family returned to California and Jun began his ministry as our Director of Music.
