Bryan and Kimberley Lee

The Refuge Center was started in 2001 by Bryan and Kimberley Lee with an emphasis at that time on mentoring high school and young adults. The Lees have served Tucson for almost 30 years in many different capacities. They raised three kids together who are now all young adults. Bryan was Lead Pastor of a local church they planted in 2013 before he unexpectedly passed away in 2020. 

Kimberley now serves as The Refuge Center’s CEO/President. She has been a teacher for over 20 years, the last ten spent in Special Education. She has volunteered and led in many different ministries. She is passionate about encouraging and equipping the Church, helping others learn how to hear from God, walk in their true identity, and live out being a disciple of Jesus Christ!

Kimberley is available to help facilitate your staff, church, or small group through a One Day Prayer Summit for team building and unity in the body of Christ. She also teaches workshops on parenting, marriages, hearing from God, true identity, returning peace to your home, and walking by the Spirit. Kimberley has over two decades of experience with church planting and would love to consult with other ministries, especially on how to include children, prayer, and discipleship in the church.
