Leadership Updates From The SOLA Network – Summer 2020

Despite COVID-19 and the cancelation of the SOLA Conference, SOLA Digital and the SOLA Network website has continued to grow. We are grateful for our audience, and we hope that our articles, interviews, and other content continue to bless and equip Christians.

We are excited to continue to grow, and to better serve our audience, we have added more members to our SOLA Editorial Board, our SOLA Conference team, and our SOLA Digital team. You can learn about the people and the changes below.


SOLA Editorial Board

We are pleased to announce a new member to our SOLA Editorial Board. Soojin Park has joined to contribute articles and curate content for our website.

Soojin is the Youth Ministry Director at Christ Central Presbyterian Church in Centreville, VA. She is currently a student at Reformed Theological Seminary DC where she is pursuing a Master of Divinity. Before entering vocational ministry, Soojin started her career supporting anti-human trafficking organizations and later worked as a conference planner for tech companies.

Soojin has already contributed to the SOLA Network previously. She wrote “A Letter to My Complementarian Brothers,” which was the most-read article on the SOLA website in 2020. In addition, she contributed to our The Women Jesus Loved series by writing “In Whom Do We Believe? Reflections on the Bleeding Woman.”
