     Sukja was born and grew up in South Korea.  She earned her Bachelor of Theology degree there at the Methodist Theological School, and served at her first few churches in South Korea.  Sukja came to America in 1992 in order to enroll in Seminary at the Drew Theological School where she earned her Master of Divinity.  She served at Swarthmore UMC for the past five years.  Her prior appointment was at Calvary United Methodist Church in Ambler for 10 years.
