Meet Our Staff
Dan Kim, Lead Pastor
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Why is it my favorite? It would be a privilege to have the opportunity to tell you. Reach out! I’d love to meet you.
C.S. Lewis once said in his book Mere Christianity, “Your real, new self (which is Christ’s and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are looking for Him.” Indeed, that’s been the case for my life. In the search for myself and my identity, I never really found it. It was only when I went looking for Jesus that I found truly myself and that I belonged to Christ.

Not long ago, the Lord transplanted me nearly 2700 miles across the continent, away from my lifelong home amid the palm trees, billboards, and bustling freeways of Southern California, to my beautiful new home surrounded by expansive blue skies and the verdant farms and forests of Central Virginia! I brought along with me years of experience as a church musician, having served congregations as a choir/music director, worship leader, section leader/soloist, and accompanist, while also having taught music and performed professionally in vocal ensembles and as a freelance soloist since my early years in college. Additionally, I have an extensive background in wholesale distribution, business to business sales, account management, and supply chain services, and have served communities as an elected chairperson, board member, and activities leader within locally and nationally prominent environmental organizations. I am so blessed by the warm welcome I have received here at Trinity, and am tremendously blessed and thankful to have been given the opportunity to serve my brothers and sisters in Christ within the Church and wherever in the world the Lord leads me!
