180 Staff

Lydia Kim - Co-Founder/Pastor of Spiritual Life

Lydia J. Kim is the Co-Founder of 180 Church and currently serves as the Pastor of Spiritual Life and oversees the spiritual development of all staff and 180 as a whole. She also leads worship and oversees the ministry of House of Prayer in both sites.
Pastor Lydia currently leads a ministry in 180 called L. I. F. E. (Living In Fullness Every day). Originating from Jesus telling us that He has come so that we may have life, and have it to the full (John 10:10), it is all about fully capturing and experiencing the complete and joyful life God has called us to and not settling for anything less.

At times, we will often be taken aback by Pastor Lydia's peculiar comments or odd behavior, but we attribute that to her constant dwelling in God's presence, which is clearly a plane of existence far higher (and more unique) than our own. You can read more about her discoveries and eccentricities on her blog. (link "blog" to http://www.lydiakim.tumblr.com)

Recently, Pastor Lydia was selected out of thousands of leaders in the U.S to attend the Lausanne Congress for World Evangelization at Cape Town, South Africa in October 2010 to join global leaders from 200 countries to discuss the most pressing issues the Global church is facing in the twilight of globalization and digitization".
