Biography

Rev Dr Leonard Wee is an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church in Singapore. He worked in the banking sector for five years before obtaining his Master of Theology degree from Dallas Theological Seminary.

After pastoring for 10 years (7 years as the lead pastor at Hope Presbyterian Church), he was sent as faculty-in-development by TTC and the PCS Synod to study at Durham University, with scholarships from the Brash Trust, the Council for World Mission and TTC. He completed his PhD studies in 2013 under the supervision of Professor Francis B. Watson.

His wife, Doris, is a counsellor serving in a Christian social outreach organisation. They met while they were at Mt Carmel Bible-Presbyterian Church (1986-2001).
