Biographical Sketch:

Antoine Lee is the Senior Pastor of Central Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The church is located in the metropolitan area of Kansas City, Missouri. Central Christian Church (DOC) has a ministry legacy spanning over 135 years. Before Rev. Lee became the Pastor, Central Christian Church suffered from an aging membership and a lack of ministry initiatives. Today, Central is among the list of “comeback churches” in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Rev. Lee has been instrumental in helping Central transition into a more contemporary ministry approach while maintaining its core traditional values. Under the leadership of Rev. Antoine Lee, “Central” is poised to continue its legacy well into the twenty-first century.

Antoine Lee completed his undergraduate work at Park University, earning a Bachelor of Arts (BA) Degree in Business Administration and Finance. Rev. Lee went on to achieve a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) from Park University, and also earned a Master of Divinity Degree (M.Div.) from Central Seminary.

Rev. Lee has spent a significant portion of his professional career as a bi-vocational minister. He climbed ranks in corporate enterprise and ultimately became the President of LMB Commercial, a commercial real estate lending company. Rev. Lee is currently the Executive Vice President and an Instructor for Kansas Christian College of Overland Park, Kansas. As an extension of his pastoral ministry, Antoine Lee serves the community as the Chair of the Historical East Neighborhoods Coalition (HENC.org). HENC consists of neighborhood associations, local congregations, and community business stakeholders. The coalition addresses the needs of the neighborhoods located on the east side of Kansas City’s urban core. In 2021, Rev. Antoine Lee received a gubernatorial appointment to serve as a commissioner on the Missouri Public Charter School Commission (MPCSC) and currently holds that seat. 

Antoine Lee has been recognized as a community champion by the Koinonia group of the Seven Oaks neighborhood, the Boston Heights Neighborhood Association, and 23rd Street PAC. He has been a keynote speaker for the National Convocation of the Christian Church (DOC), as well as for several other organizations. Rev. Lee is the author of the book “A Perfect Cup: Rediscovering Holiness in the 21st Century.” The book “A Perfect Cup” is a thought-provoking work that inspires and challenges its readers to lead a holy life; it is available at most major retailers in North America and Germany.

Rev. Lee considers these achievements “the minor things.” It is his devotion to God and family that he deems most important. He is the proud husband of Kesha Lee and father of three children: Xzhavion, KeShaun, and Amiyah. Antoine’s relationship with God, his love for his family, coupled with his academic qualifications, professional experience, and community service, has given him an incredible insight that can minister to people of all walks of life.
