2026 Stewardship Kaleidoscope Worship Leader Spotlight: Christopher Lee
As we continue to count down the days to Stewardship Kaleidoscope 2026–Doing More in BaltiMORE, we hope that you are as excited as we are to hear from the Rev. Christopher M. Lee, Executive Presbyter for Grace Presbytery in Dallas, Texas.
With a deep sense of joy, prophetic imagination, and down-to-earth humility, Lee provides administrative and spiritual leadership for the 130 PC(USA) congregations across 54 counties of North, Northeast, and Central Texas that comprise Grace Presbytery.
Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, and raised in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Lee is married to his college sweetheart, Brandy, and they have two beautiful daughters, Erin and Jordyn. He was a nationally ranked junior tennis player and earned an NCAA Division I scholarship to Howard University, in Washington D.C. He finished his collegiate career at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, N.C., earning a Bachelor’s degree in Communications & Public Relations.
In 2012, he received his Master of Divinity degree from Union Presbyterian Seminary in Virginia. He also holds certifications in Executive Leadership from McCormick Theological Seminary and in Religious Fundraising from the Lake Institute on Faith & Giving at Indiana University, Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.
Lee’s passion for biblical justice, outreach and community engagement is lived out in his longstanding involvement with local schools, non-profit organizations, and various community organizations. He believes that God has called him to live out a ministry that seeks to engage with Christ as Christ is working in culture, unafraid and unashamed in challenging the status quo, welcoming strangers, and embracing the tough questions that culture, life, and scripture present.
