My name is Yohan Lee. I am the son of Korean parents but was born and raised in Brazil, where I completed my M.Div. before moving to Grand Rapids to study at Calvin Theological Seminary. After earning my masterโ€™s degree in New Testament studies (2023), I completed the Ecclesiastical Program for Ministerial Candidacy (EPMC) and was ordained in November 2024. I currently serve as a pastor at Living Water Christian Reformed Church in Grand Rapids.ย 


I have been married to Joana Lee for nine years, and we are blessed with three children: Alice (8), Isabela (8), and Abel (1).


I believe my journey in the Christian Reformed Church began long before I ever set foot at Calvin Seminaryโ€”when God planted the desire to study there in my heart. Friends who had studied abroad and my family encouraged me, believing this path would bear much fruit.


After much prayer and seeking Godโ€™s direction, I applied to Calvin Seminary, was accepted, and arrived in Grand Rapids in August 2021.


From the moment we arrived, Joana and I have been certain that God has guided our steps. He has connected us with incredible people who have been instrumental in our journey. We are deeply grateful for all the blessings we have received and for the many people God has placed in our lives along the way.


By Godโ€™s grace, I have the privilege of serving at Living Water CRC, and I pray that He will continue to use my family and me to be a blessing to our church, our denomination, and His people.
