OUR PASTOR

My family and I are excited to learn about American traditions and foods. As I said in a recent sermon “Our tongues were born in Korea” so we are slowly acquiring a taste for these new foods while longing for familiar tastes such as kimchi.

Music is an important part of our lives.  I throughly enjoy singing while playing the piano.  As a middle and high school student, I would sing praises for two to three hours at a time, not even aware of the time passing.  I hope to sing with all of you soon.

I look forward to meeting you. I hope that you can enjoy your Christian life, as “the called to be sent” with my family and I at the Contoocook United Methodist Church, so stop in and visit at our offline location soon!

Peace.

My name is Gil Lee. My wife Hannah, our children, Daniel and Grace, and I moved here to Contoocook from Singapore and I began serving this congregation on July 1, 2018.

This is not my first move to a new time zone. I have have served as a missionary trainer in Singapore, pastored at churches in Severn, MD, Wilmore, KY and in Singapore, and been a missiology professor in Korea, Indonesia, Singapore and Sri Lanka. I have thought of myself as a mobile church, moving around the world sharing God's dream from 1Timothy2:4 “For all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth”.

​

While Gil is my given name, it is also an acronym for God Is Love.  In allthe positions I have held, I have served with God in my heart and withthe hope that I can spread God's Love to individuals all over the world.I am here to help folks to move closer to God as disciples of Jesus Christ.
