Pastors and Staff
Head Pastor: Keith Lee
Pastor Keith Lee loves God, the Bible and the people of God. Upon graduating from California’s Fuller Seminary with his Masters in Divinity, he felt God’s call to study the Bible in its original language at Hebrew University in Israel. During furlough in Seoul, he met his wonderful wife, Ji Hyun, in 2001. They have two daughters. After nine years of living in Jerusalem, God then spoke into his life once again with a calling to serve at the Korean United Methodist Church of Greater Washington and Vision of Peace Church. Although living in the area has taken some adjustments — Pastor Keith has lived the majority of his life in locations with beautiful weather such as California, Hawaii and Jerusalem — God’s passion and love for the people in the greater Washington area has filled Keith with a vision of peace, joy, hope, love and restoration for the local community.
