STEPHEN LEUNG
Lead Pastor at 2EFC
Brooklyn

Pastor Stephen Leung is one of our Missional Partners that is the Lead Pastor at the Second Evangelical Free Church located in Brooklyn. He joined Edge City Church in August, 2019, having previously served at a multi-ethnic church plant in Queens for nine years. In 2022, Edge City blessed Pastor Leung to be the Lead Pastor at 2EFC. Pastor Leung is the husband of Vicki and the father of their four sons, Benjamin, Matthias, Isaiah, and Timothy. Stephen is a second generation Chinese-American born in St. Louis, Missouri, to immigrant parents from Hong Kong. He grew up in Kentucky, went to college in Massachusetts, and met Vicki in Virginia while he was serving a shore tour with the U.S. Navy.

Having served in the Navy, and then working as a contractor to the federal government, Pastor Leung heeded the call to full-time vocational ministry and headed to seminary, back in St. Louis, along with his family in the early 2000s. He ministered in the St. Louis area immediately following seminary before taking a call in New York City in 2010. He counts his experiences of serving in an assortment of immigrant, majority-culture, and multi-ethnic church settings as shaping influences and sources of incredible joy in seeing how wonderfully the Lord Jesus works among his people in a variety of settings. However, he views the opportunity to serve in the richly diverse setting of Edge City Church, reaching the communities of Southern Nassau County to be an enriching culmination of all his past experiences.
