Growing up, he never dreamt or envisioned being in full-time ministry; point guard for the Lakers or CEO of a large corporation, yes; pastor, no! But he has come to realize that God has a great plan for each and everyone of us, and sometimes it is not what you expect, regardless of seeing it early or later, God has a wonderful plan. Pastor Steve graduated from college and worked in corporate finance. After several years in the corporate world, God called him into full-time ministry, instead of pursuing a MBA, with much struggle and trepidation, Pastor Steve spent a good year wrestling with the calling. But when God calls, there is a special reason\/purpose, so he began his studies at Talbot School of Theology (Biola University) and received his Master&#8217;s degree.<\/p>\n<p>After 20 years of ministry, Steve continues to hope to share a love for God that is multi-faceted, and like a brilliant diamond, God\u2019s love should radiate to the Church, and the un-churched.<\/p>\n<p>He has been married to the wonderful Hye Jin Lee for over 22 years. They are parents to 2 beautiful and active children; Charis (17 years old) and Micah (13 years old).<\/p>\n<p>His first Sunday at IEC was December 2, 2018 and more of his sermons at IEC can be found on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCW64TvFe7JaMPDlqQ8UHl0w\">YouTube Channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Want to know more about our new pastor like how he takes his coffee and his vision for our church?
