Preacher Bio:
Reverend Shaun J. Lee, a Brooklyn, New York native, serves as the
seventh pastor of the Mount Lebanon Baptist Church. Rev. Lee
graduated with from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia where he
served as a chaplain assistant in the Martin Luther King Jr.
International Chapel. Upon graduating, he continued his education at
Brooklyn College where he received his Master’s Degree in
Education. Rev. Lee proceeded to teach in the New York City public
school system for five years.
During his tenure as a teacher, he received the call to full time
ministry. Understanding the importance and necessity being a well
trained minister he attended Princeton Theological Seminary
ultimately graduating with honors, receiving his Master’s of Divinity
and a slew of various awards of distinction. The very day of his
graduation – May 17, 2008 – Rev. Lee was asked to lead Mount
Lebanon where he focuses on getting individuals to establish a true
relationship with Christ, establishing a meaningful membership in
God’s church and a concrete connection with the surrounding and
global community. Reverend Lee firmly believes that the Word,
Worship, and Work are central to advancing the Kingdom of God.
Reverend Lee’s leadership has led Mount Lebanon into becoming “A
Ministry of Love,” that reaches beyond its walls to affect change. An
active member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Reverend Lee aims
to connect with the un-churched through new and “out-of-the box”
engagement. Staying in tune with his own personal passions of social
justice, he instituted a monthly soup kitchen, back-to-school BBQ that
provides 500 children with supplies, a strong social media presence
led by volunteers from the congregation and the Judges 19 Ministry
which focuses on helping victims of domestic abuse. Rev. Lee has
also developed an unconventional Bible Study held at a neighborhood
wine bar to create a space for those who may never enter a church to
better understand and critically engage scripture.
This New York Knicks and Giants fan also delights in the nurture of his
two daughters Sian and Sanai.
