Lee Beach
Lee has been part of the faculty at the College since 2005 in various capacities, although he became a member of the permanent faculty in 2010 after completing his PhD at McMaster Divinity College. His areas of specialization include the mission of the church, the church in culture, Practical Theology, pastoral studies and Christian Spirituality.
He served in pastoral ministry with the Christian and Missionary Alliance for 22 years as a lead pastor, youth pastor, associate pastor and associate teaching pastor. Lee was part of the original group that helped start Ancaster Village Church in Ancaster, Ontario, and I remain actively involved in the life and ministry of this congregation.
His research interests include the Church in a postmodern, post-Christian society; the mission of the Church; pastoral practice in a 21st-century context; and spirituality and the ministering person.
