Jeehoon Kim, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies
Jeehoon has spent most of his life with the title 'student' attached to his name, whether studying in Korea or Canada. This experience has made him a fantastic listener, conversationalist, learner, teacher and interpreter. It could also explain why his pastoral ministry involves many years of serving children and youth. He is happily married to a teacher (yes!) and is expanding his knowledge base in his role as father.
