Pastor Lee and Corinne have lived in the East Central Minnesota area all of their lives. They originally lived in North Branch where they met in high school and were married, then later moved to Cambridge. It was during their time in the Cambridge area that a prophetic call came to them to pastor.

Lee was licensed and ordained by River of Life Church as a pastor and was sent out to pioneer a new church work in the Rush City area after serving in the capacity as an elder there for some time. The church was planted in the Spring of 2000 and quickly moved from a rented facility to the present location.

After three years, Corinne and Lee moved to Rock Creek and reside there to this present day. They have been married for over 40 years, have three children, (all of whom are married), and four grandchildren. Lee has also served as a chaplain for the Chisago County Sheriffs Office for over 16 years. Corinne currently works at a care facility in North Branch.
