During his college years, Robin Kim encountered the Lord through Campus Crusade for Christ (now Cru) and served as a small group leader. In his senior year, he sensed Godās call to ministry following the sudden passing of his fatherāa moment that awakened in him a desire to pursue what truly mattered for eternity. However, after graduation, he became deeply immersed in his English education business and spent nearly seven years running from that call, believing he could support the Kingdom financially instead. In 2007, a serious bicycle accident that fractured his left upper arm became a decisive turning point through which the Lord redirected his path. In 2008, Robin finally surrendered to Godās call and enrolled at Torch Trinity Seminary in Seoul, South Korea, where he actively served in worship and childrenās ministries at Seoul Onnuri Church (EM), VCF (EM), and the Burning Lamp Ministry (EM).
In 2011, Robin moved to the United States and completed both a Master of Divinity (M.Div.) and a Masterās degree in Counseling at Biblical Seminary in Pennsylvania. While pursuing his degrees, he gained diverse ministry and counseling experience across the greater Philadelphia areaāserving as Youth Pastor at Korean Peniel Church (2011ā2012), Associate Pastor and Youth Pastor at Korean Edification Church (2012ā2014), and Chaplain Intern at Elm Terrace Gardens (2014ā2015). From 2015 to 2016, he continued in senior care ministry as Pastoral Care Assistant at Living Branches, while also working as a Counselor Intern at Souderton Vantage Academy, where he supported teenagers through therapeutic, psychological, and emotional care. From 2015 to 2020, Robin served as the College and Young Adult Pastor at Bethel Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, followed by his role as Youth Pastor at Ambler Presbyterian Church (2020ā2021).
Robin served as a U.S. Army Chaplain from October 2019 to June 2025, faithfully ministering to young American Soldiers and their families with gospel-centered counsel and spiritual care. His heart was to serve the military community with compassion and truthāfor the glory of God and the advance of His Kingdom. During this season, God stirred in him a vision for church planting, which he has pursued through prayerful discernment and preparation. Since relocating to Georgia due to military service, Robin has continued to proclaim Godās Word as a guest preaching pastor at local congregations, including Savannah First Korean Presbyterian Church (2021ā2024), The First Korean Baptist Church of Hinesville (2025) and Open Korean Presbyterian Church of Hinesville (2025). He currently serves as the pastor of God-Pleasing Church of Savannah(launched in November 2025), embracing this new season with gratitude and expectation for Godās work. In addition, he started serving as an ESL instructor at Savannah Technical College in January 2026, where he teaches and empowers adult English learners.
