Pastor Kim Onate

Kim Oñate was born and raised in a Christian home in the Philippines. He accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior at the age of twelve during a Christian youth retreat. At that time, his understanding of God and everything about Christian living was anything but deep compelled primarily by parental obedience and routineness of religious practices.
God’s sovereignty, life experiences and people encounter, had made it clearer to him that living, as a Christian, is impossible apart from Jesus Christ. The Christian life is Christ in one’s life, the hope of glory (Col. 1:27). God has brought Kim to a place of surrender and trust to his authority and enabling him to walk with Him day by day. 
In 2020, Kim graduated Masters in Christian Ministry from Liberty University. Together with his wife, Perl, they are currently leading a house church in Sewell, New Jersey. Onward Christian Fellowship was established in that location to further God’s message by sharing and living out the gospel through intentional and creative opportunities in the community and marketplace environment. Kim and Perl have been married since 1998 and has a daughter, Aira. The three of them are registered nurses.
