Meet our leadership team!

God has truly blessed our church with an incredible leadership team, guiding us with wisdom, compassion, and a deep commitment to our mission. Their dedication and vision have strengthened our community, helping us grow in faith and service as we follow God’s calling together.

Meet Our Minister

Reverend Dr. Jay Kim

Rev. Dr. Jay Kim begins his pastoral leadership on January 2, 2025. As we start a new year the Presbyterian Church of Wilmington welcomes Pastor Jay! He has served congregations in L.A., Nebraska, Illinois, and now Wilmington, Ohio. His wife Susan and sons live in LA but visit often. 

Jay was born in South Korea and came to the United States for University study at Princeton. His masters followed then seminary in California. His diverse experiences and obedience to God's call led him here.
