Korean American Leadership Initiative
Cultivating greater participation and development of future Korean American leaders in the PCA.
Mission
-
Promote Networking and Fellowship: We create spaces for connection and mutual encouragement among pastors.
-
Encourage Spiritual Vitality and Longevity: We support pastors for sustainable ministry that thrives, benefiting not just their families and ministries, but the entire PCA.

Provide Leadership Development: We offer leadership training tailored to the unique experiences of second and third-generation Korean-American pastors.
-
Equip ministers for church planting and church revitalization.
Our Purpose
Korean American Leadership Initiative (KALI) is dedicated to cultivating greater participation and development of future Korean American leaders in the Presbyterian Church in America. We also long to see more Christ-centered churches planted to meet the needs of a world in need of the Gospel. Our vision is to cultivate servant-leaders (teaching elders and ruling elders) from the Korean American community who actively engage with and serve the PCA.
Core Values
-
A Life-Giving & Restful Community: Time spent with God and one another should be refreshing, joyful, fun, and life-giving. KALI intentionally offers unhurried and unencumbered spaces for Korean American pastors to receive nourishment with the purpose of continued flourishment in their homes, churches, and communities.
-
Leadership Development: Empowering second-and third-generation Korean American pastors for the good of the PCA. When Korean American pastors are developed and equipped for ministry, the PCA directly benefits.
-
Kingdom Collaboration: Our desire is to galvanize engagement at all three levels of the PCA: local church, presbytery, General Assembly. To accomplish this, we focus on building relationships that are collaborative, not competitive, devoid of envy or rivalry, cheering each other on and celebrating our successes together.
