Pastor Richard Lee
Pastor Richard has been a member of Bethany Church since his middle school years, serving as Youth Group praise leader and president. He was baptized in the same sanctuary that we worship in today. He received his B.A. from Columbia University (CC ‘97) and has completed his MDiv from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Also, he was a college pastor for New Church of Atlanta from 1999-2003. He has a heart for missions, serving as a field director for Saltillo, Mexico Missions from 2002 to 2007, working exclusively with native pastors. He has extensive experience in worship music, serving as a praise leader since 1989, including Jericho Falls (NJ) and Praisin’ the Raisin’ (ATL). He is ordained in the Evangelical Church Alliance.
Along with his wife, Theresa (RU ‘97), son, Richard Jr (born 7/04) and daughter Chloe (born 11/06) he came to Bethany Well in August 2005. He loves watching his NY Mets, but hates watching them lose to the Yankees or the Atlanta Braves.
