God is leading Joseph Lee and his family into a new chapter of ministry. Beginning in 2025, Joseph will serve as the Family Minister at Icon Church, a church plant in downtown Plano.

Joseph’s journey in faith and ministry began in South Korea, where he grew up as the son of a pastor who has faithfully served his congregation for 36 years. Raised in a Christian home, Joseph accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior at fifteen. He sensed God’s calling to ministry early on, but it wasn’t until after college that he fully committed his life to ministry. He then enrolled at Dallas Theological Seminary, drawn by the need for biblically rooted teaching for the church’s next generation.

Although Joseph grew up in Korean churches and continued serving in them after moving to the U.S. at sixteen, his ministry direction took a turn during his final year of seminary. Through an internship with Proskuneo Ministries, Joseph felt a powerful call toward multicultural and multiethnic ministry. Since then, he has served for over six years in youth and young adult ministry at Reunion Church, a vibrant, multiethnic congregation in downtown Dallas.

In recent months, Joseph felt a stirring in his heart, sensing that God was preparing him for a new direction. With guidance from his mentor, John Tolson, he asked himself a pivotal question: “Am I using the gifts God has given me to their full potential?” After months of prayer and reflection, a powerful message at Dallas Theological Seminary chapel from his senior pastor, Richard Ellis, confirmed his calling to preach.

When Joseph shared his calling with the elders at Reunion, they joyfully confirmed his direction and agreed to send him to Icon Church. Icon Church is a young and growing church plant that mirrors Plano’s diverse and dynamic community. As Family Minister, Joseph will oversee family ministries, serve as an advisory elder, and regularly teach and preach the Word of God.
