Mihee Kim-Kort is an ordained Presbyterian (PCUSA) minister with degrees in divinity and theology from Princeton Theological Seminary. Currently she juggles various jobs including raising three children (toddler twins and a 6 month old), ministering to college students as the staff person for UKIRK @ IU, an itinerant preacher, and numerous writing projects.
Born in Seoul, Korea, she and her parents immigrated here shortly after her birth. Settling in Colorado, she was baptized in a Methodist church before her family joined the local Korean Presbyterian (PCUSA) church. It was here that she learned the faith. During her undergraduate studies at the University of Colorado in beautiful Boulder, she joined various Christian fellowship groups and majored in Religious Studies and English Literature. It was during this time, and then in seminary that she began to experience a shift from traditional evangelicalism to a progressive, inclusive faith focused on God’s Good News in the here and now as expressed through social justice. Her writing reflects this on-going process of making her faith palatable, relevant, and authentic.
