Rev. Chung Choo Cho was a devoted servant of the Lord's church. His life served as an example of dedication and integrity, inspiring countless individuals through his passion for the gospel. Though soft-spoken, his resolute character left an indelible mark on all who knew him.
In his almost 45 years of ministry, Rev. Cho's central pastorate was the Pilgrim Church in Las Vegas, Nev., where he faithfully served and oversaw the successful construction of the church building before retiring.
Following his retirement, Rev. Cho resided in New York with his first son, where he remained an active member of the East West Church of New York in Bayside Hills, N.Y., for the past 23 years, serving as support in pastoral counseling and care ministry.
Rev. Joseph Changguk Byun fondly remembers Rev. Cho as a retired senior pastor for his dedication to Scripture, which brought him profound peace, gratitude, and inspiration. He also diligently participated in regional Korean retired pastors gatherings as an officer.
Rev. Cho was predeceased by a daughter, and he is survived by his wife, Cho So Soon; two sons; and 10 grandchildren.
