Jay Kim began his pastoral leadership at the Presbyterian Church of Wilmington on January 2, 2025. Throughout his ministry, he has served churches in Los Angeles, Nebraska, Illinois, and now Wilmington, Ohio. His wife, Susan, and their sons live in L.A. but visit often.
His diverse ministerial journey, spanning from youth to adulthood, along with his deep commitment to God’s calling, has led him to this new chapter of ministry.
Originally from South Korea, Jay came to the U.S. to pursue college and further his academic career.
Jay earned a BA from Princeton University, Master's degrees from Vanderbilt University, and Fuller Theological Seminary (MDiv). He also holds doctorates from Harvard University (Ph.D) and Denver Seminary (D.Min).
