Walter Kim became the president of the National Association of Evangelicals in January 2020. He previously served as a pastor at Boston’s historic Park Street Church and at churches in Vancouver, Canada and Charlottesville, Virginia, as well as a campus chaplain at Yale University. He preaches, writes and engages in collaborative leadership to connect the Bible to the intellectual and cultural issues of the day. He regularly teaches in conferences and classrooms; addresses faith concerns with elected officials and public institutions; and provides theological and cultural commentary to leading news outlets. He serves on the boards of Christianity Today and World Relief and consults with a wide range of organizations. Kim received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, his M.Div. from Regent College in Vancouver, and his B.A. from Northwestern University.
Motivated by their love of Christ, evangelicals welcomed Walter Kim’s father when he arrived in South Korea as a refugee. Walter’s parents immigrated to the United States, and as a young person, Walter found his ultimate home in Christ.
The National Association of Evangelicals seeks to reflect God’s love and to serve as a welcome home for the many expressions of evangelicalism.
Our cultural moment is complicated. It requires the ability to think critically and to engage charitably. We need a voice that is clear, strong and peace-making. Would you give today to support that mission?
