Pastor

Interim Pastor Lori Doyle

Reverend Lori Doyle is a United Methodist pastor with over 30 years of ministry appointed at various churches in the San Diego area. In retirement, Pastor Lori enjoys time with her five grandchildren, teaching quilting in her local community center, and playing in the Coronado Ukulele Club (poorly but with great enthusiasm). She also seeks to follow Jesus through her service in another local club, which advocates for social justice, access to healthcare for all, and the dignity of all people. In light of the rise of christian nationalism, when asked, Pastor Lori prefers not to call herself a Christian, but rather a follower of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Recently, her most referred to verses from scripture are the Great Commandment and Matthew 25, the judgment of the nations.

Youth Ministry Coordinator

Kangmin Kim

Hi, I'm Kangmin Kim, and I am the Youth Coordinator for LinC Ministry. I have been so fortunate to attend LinC Ministry as a student through 2002-2008 during my formative and angsty years under Pastor Sam Nam, David Kim, Jewel Kim, Johnny Kim, James Lim, Tony Choi, Joe Jung, and Sam Han. I grew up with and served alongside many LinC alumni such as the Kwon sisters, Kathy and Lee Bernstein, Chris Park, Tim Shin, the Yoons, Nate and Michael Choung, Ellison and Daniel Kang, Peter and Victor Kim, DJ, Diane Sohn, Alice Rhee, Daniel Lee (all of them and their wives), Jason and Jihoon Im, Sang, the Hwangs, the Mins, Mitch Pearl, Tae Kim, and my brother Cheol. I hold all of our shared retreats, events, conversations, conversions, challenges, and victories near and dear to my heart. I believe that through LinC Ministry, Jesus called me by name and led me to a spiritual journey that continues to astound and satiate my spiritual hunger for Him. I have served under Pastor Sam, Pastor Hannah Chang, Pastor Dan Kim, and Pastor John Mun, and I have been blessed by their leadership and hearts of servitude. Through all the blessings I have received, I serve our youth today knowing that God continues to pour out the Holy Spirit unto the new generation of students and leaders. God continues to be faithful to us, even to this day, which is where we draw our strength and ability to continue to be faithful to Him.

Currently, I am married to my beautiful wife, Andrea, the mother of my amazing three boys: Emerson, Judah, and Samuel. God has been so, so good to me. I work full-time as a social worker, and I aspire to continue my seminary education when the time is right.

Join us as we pray for our youth, our church, and for God's glory to be made known to and through us!
