Rev. Charles Lee

Pastor Charles was born in Korea, came to Canada when he was thirteen and has lived in a number of different cities in North America (Vancouver, D.C., Virginia, New Jersey, and Boston) before coming to Toronto in 2012.

Having grown up at church, he got baptized when he was in high school and grew in his faith through a campus ministry in college. Though he majored in economics in college, after a clear sense of God’s call into a vocational ministry, he obeyed God’s call to be an ordained minister of the gospel. As a lifelong learner, he studied at Regent College (MCS), Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (MDiv, ThM) and McMaster Divinity College (DPT).

He is grateful to serve as a pastor at New Hope Fellowship where he gets to witness God’s grace at work in people’s lives. He desires to be a genuine follower of Christ who can help others to follow Christ together with him. He envisions our church to be a discipling community that equips the people of God for the mission of God in the world. That we will glorify God by making disciples of all nations, starting within our family and church context, then in our local neighbourhoods, schools, workplaces and to the ends of the earth.

He is blessed to be married to Natalie and be given three children (Daniel, Stephen and Charis).
