Dr. Kim’s first passion is his family. He loves the “evening rituals” with his wife Hee-Jung and two daughters, Haerin and Haenah. From the overflow of Christ’s love in the home, Dr. Kim finds his rhythm in life, work, and ministry. In particular, he has a passion for Korean-American families and churches, and noting comparisons and contrasts with other Asian and immigrant contexts of acculturation.
He has served as a lead Pastor in two Korean-American churches for fourteen years and continues to selectively accept speaking engagements in respect to Korean-American issues. Prior to coming to Wheaton he also taught at Michigan State University and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. A lifelong passion is to intersect personal and academic interests with the local church.

Dr. Kim is currently working on his Ph.D. in Church History and Historical Thought in the Theological Studies Program at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He firmly believes that “sociology without theology is powerless and that theology without sociology is blind.” After this degree is finished, Dr. Kim plans to do sociological analyses which center on Korean-American Protestants with theological intersections. He plans to write a book in respect to his current dissertation which focuses on the primary source of Horace N. Allen, the purported first “missionary” to Korea.
