The Winter Garden Church, Orlando, Fla., congregation overflowed with members, visitors, and guests as Michael K. Owusu, D.Min., president for Southeastern Conference, introduced and inducted Chelston D. Lee, pastor, and his wife, Margo Lee, to the eager assembly.
Lee brings a wealth of experience from both the secular and religious realms of the Christian faith and the Seventh-day Adventist community. While he spent most of his ministry years in the Greater New York Conference, he now takes the helm as senior pastor of Winter Garden Church, with additional pastoral responsibilities at South Lake Church in Clermont, Fla.
Originally from St. Kitts but raised in Montserrat, Lee holds a master of divinity degree from Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Mich. Certified in clinical pastoral education, he also serves in the U.S. Army Reserves as a first lieutenant chaplain. Lee is deeply passionate about Bible study and teaching, striving to live each day as a servant of God and a friend to humanity. His core mission is to inspire others to love God with all their heart, mind, and body, encapsulated in his mantra: “Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ.”
In a symbolic gesture of unity and support, all the elders of Winter Garden surrounded Chelston and Margo Lee as Owusu led a prayer invoking God’s blessings upon the new leadership. The entire congregation enthusiastically welcomed the Lees into their fold.
