While attending Biblical Theological Seminary in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, Pastor Bruce served as an associate pastor at the Remnant Presbyterian Church and as a campus staff leader at New York University. Starting with much prayer and less than a handful of students in the late summer of 1995, the Remnant Christian Fellowship soon grew to 60-80 students. A sister fellowship at the Parsons School of Design soon followed. As God continued to guide and speak to him, Pastor Bruce was convicted and encouraged to plant a campus/young adult church in Chelsea in the fall of 2002. Almost a year later, in October of 2003, Remnant Westside Church was born!
As his tenure with Remnant Westside continues, Pastor Bruce’s commitment to the church grows even stronger. He wants to see people embrace God through worship that is both freeing and glorifying to Him; to live out their Christian lives to the fullest within the context of the church; and to build a strong community with a compassion for others. As he explains, he wants to “help people fully embrace the highest and deepest part of worship.” In his spare time, Pastor Bruce enjoys photography, playing golf, eating and spending time with his family. Pastor Bruce currently lives in Bayside, New York with his wife, Sunghee, and his two children, Joshua and Ruth.
