His grandmother was the sole source of Christian influence in his life, and to this day Lee reflects back on the ways in which she played a key role in influencing his life for Christ. Life change really began in February of 1979 when Lee married his wife Joi. A few months later Lee found himself reading the book of Revelation, and through reflecting back on the words his grandmother shared with him, he made a commitment to follow Christ.
After high school, Lee began his career and found himself at the retail giant Sears. Through success as a manager in several departments he moved up the corporate ladder and eventually found himself in the corporate offices of Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois.
Throughout his successful career in the retail industry, Lee sensed a passion for ministry. In 1990, Lee felt called to leave and return to Northwest, Ohio where he accepted a job as youth pastor of Grace Evangelical Church in Oregon, Ohio. It was the summer of that same year, when Lee found himself in the Willow Creek Community Church Auditorium, and the vision for CedarCreek was born. In 1995, Lee, along with Steve Korn, co-founded CedarCreek church in Perrysburg.
Lee holds an associate’s degree in Marketing from Owens Community College and received some of his religious training through Trinity Christian College in Dearborn, Illinois. He also earned 48 hours of graduate training at Ashland Theological Seminary, and is currently enrolled at Winebrenner Theological Seminary with hopes of completing his graduate work.
Lee and Joi are avid ballroom dancers in their spare time and have been married for 30 years. They love spending time with their four children and six grandchildren.показать меньше
