RMCNews – Denver, Colorado … The Rocky Mountain Conference (RMC) is pleased to announce that Sean Lee has accepted the call to be the new Ministerial director. Lee will begin his duties at the conference April 1.
“We are thrilled to welcome our new ministerial director Sean Lee to the Rocky Mountain Conference,” commented Dave VandeVere, RMC president. “His depth of pastoral experience, commitment to professional development, and heart for ministry bring a meaningful foundation to this role. We look forward to seeing how his leadership will shape, strengthen, and support our pastors and churches in the years ahead.”
Lee has most recently been the lead pastor of the Southview Seventh-day Adventist Church in Eagan, Minnesota, and served until a year ago as the Ministerial assistant director and Twin Cities coordinator for the Minnesota Seventh-day Adventist Conference. He is also a volunteer chaplain for the Eagan Police Department.
Prior to these leadership positions, Lee has served the greater Seventh-day Adventist Church in a variety of functions over the last two decades in pastor, associate pastor, and associate youth director roles in Maryland, California, and Michigan. He began his service as a missionary musician from the Northern Asia Pacific Division with the Golden Angels Singers ministry.
Holding a doctorate in Ministry and a Master of Business Administration from Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan, with chaplain endorsements and certifications in marriage counseling, Lee will be a great asset to the RMC pastors he will serve in this new role. Lee has also remarked on his passion for Adventist education, youth and young adult ministry, and cultural diversity, and on his respect for both traditional and modern forms of evangelism from preaching to innovative multimedia ministries.
“It is exciting to recognize that we are part of something greater than ourselves,” reflected Lee on the upcoming transition. “Responding to God’s calling reminds me that I am part of His greater purpose, and that fills me with gratitude and excitement. I look forward to serving the Rocky Mountain Conference, especially collaborating with my fellow pastors. Just as I have poured my heart in serving the Southview family, I will pour my heart to the RMC pastors with commitment and determination.”
“I have known Sean for years as a dedicated pastor and wonderful Chirstian. I am really excited that he is coming to RMC,” commented Doug Inglish, RMC vice president for Administration.
Hugo Guillen, RMC Ministerial associate director and lead for Multicultural Ministries, remarked, “I am happy to know that we are getting a new team member here at RMC. From my initial conversations and the entire interview process, I believe Pastor Sean Lee will fit right into what we are seeking to accomplish as a conference. His passion and understanding of pastoral ministry will definitely be a blessing for our pastoral team. I know God is building something special in our region.”
Lee will be relocating with his wife, Helen, and their two sons, Nathan and Joseph. As a family, they enjoy such outdoor activities as hiking and biking, various sports, and making music.
