Prof. Eunil David Cho honored at the Synod of Mid-Atlantic Assembly of the PC(USA)
Assistant Professor of Spiritual Care and Counseling Eunil David Cho was honored at the 254th Assembly of the Synod of the Mid-Atlantic of the Presbyterian Church (USA) for his years of dedicated service to the church, both regionally and nationally. He served as Moderator (2023-2024) and Vice Moderator (2022-2023) of the Synod of the Mid-Atlantic, which is an upper judicatory of the Presbyterian Church. The synod oversees 14 presbyteries in Washington, DC, and five Mid-Atlantic states: Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. It is the largest synod in terms of church membership, with 1,241 congregations in the PC(USA).
During Cho’s tenure as Moderator, the synod recently launched the Next Generation Initiative (NGI) as one of its permanent committees focusing on the congregational renewal and vitality of Black Presbyterian churches, leaders, and seminarians.
The Synod Executive and Stated Clerk, Rev. Warren Lesane, Jr., said, “Cho’s leadership was marked by unwavering professionalism and grace, serving as a guiding force for all of us. As a minister and educator, he brought a wealth of insight and creativity to every discussion, offering generous contributions that shaped our work and moved us forward. Lastly, he demonstrated a deep concern for everyone’s well-being, consistently reminding us to take care of ourselves, both physically and spiritually.”
