David Kim
Elder
David lived in 9 different cities before settling into San Francisco Bay Area, as he pursued his academic and career ambitions. While he had attended church, he did not understand what it means to have a real personal relationship with God until encountering a heartbreaking personal situation. By experiencing God through these circumstances, David came to glimpse His sovereignty and heart for all people, as well as the life-transforming implication of Jesus' hanging on the cross and his subsequent rising. This also motivated him to prioritize living out his faith and serving others over personal ambitions, though he still struggles to find balance. David is married to Tiffany and has two daughters, Ellen and Clara. He has been working as a professional in private equity and hedge fund investing for over twenty years and currently serves as partner at a San Francisco-based investment partnership.
