Mission & Vision Statements
We journey together creating a place of belonging
by living our faith and helping others.
Welcoming Statement
Christ United Methodist Church of Algonquin celebrates the diversity of the human community
and affirms the sacred worth of each person. We seek to follow the Way of Jesus, extending love
to others as we would want to be loved. We welcome the full inclusion of all persons in the life and
ministries of the church, regardless of gender, age, race, national origin, religious background,
marital status, family configuration, physical or mental ability, sexual orientation,
gender identity, or economic condition. We especially proclaim this statement of welcome
to all who have known the pain of exclusion or discrimination in the church.
As a Reconciling Congregation, we believe that we are being reconciled to God and to one another.

Rev. Mi-Sook Yoo

Growing up in Seoul, South Korea, Pastor Mi-Sook found herself at home through an active youth group and music ministry of her church. After migrating to the U.S. in 1998 she redefined her calling as an ordained pastor, graduated from Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity, and has served four Congregations in the Northern Illinois Conference of the United Methodist Church. Mi-Sook is passionate about creating spaces for people to encounter the Holy and share their stories whether it is through worship or a study or mission work. As she seeks a life of discipleship, she invites you to join this journey with God and with each other and hopes to grow in grace together.
