OUR LEADERS
Pastor
Graham Lee
Graham grew up in North Carolina and after working for a few years, felt God calling him to seminary and, later, more graduate school. After that and much soul searching, he embraced God’s call for him to pastor.
Among other things he enjoys philosophy, film/TV, and hiding in a crowd, but appreciates that there can be too much of a good thing. He’s learned all too well how sinful and broken he is. He’s trying to learn each day what it means to be loyal in all things to the God in three Persons who redeemed him.

Chang has been at KCCP since his arrival to Pittsburgh in 2006. He has served in various capacities over the years.
“I live a pretty simple life with my lovely wife Jihye and together we raise our daughter Ember.

Tim Kim
Tim has attended Korean Central Church of Pittsburgh since his arrival to Pittsburgh in 2004. A son of a PCA pastor, Tim has served in various leadership roles and has been in service as a deacon since 2019.
