Pastor Paul Kim, Senior Pastor
Rebekah Kim, Director of Spiritual Formation

Pastor Paul Kim and his wife, Rebekah, founded Berkland Baptist Church in 1981. Since then they’ve dedicated their lives to building churches and raising leaders by sharing the transforming love of Christ.

Pastor Paul is an active leader in the Southern Baptist Convention, having served as a trustee of the International Mission Board and president of the New England Baptist Convention. Having completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Hawaii, he is also an avid cyclist and loves the outdoors. He earned his M.Div. and M.R.E from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and his D.Min. from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary.

In addition to her role at BBC, Rebekah currently serves as a chaplain at Harvard, where she teaches the Bible on Friday nights. In her spare time, she loves to paint, root for underdog sports teams, and learn new languages (in hopes that they might one day be used to talk about Jesus). Rebekah is a graduate of Seoul National University, UC Santa Cruz, and Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary.

Pastor Paul and Rebekah live in Cambridge. Their son is an undergraduate at Harvard and their daughter lives in Philadelphia with her husband.
