MILL VALLEY, Calif. — The new home of the David and Faith Kim School of Intercultural Studies at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary in Mill Valley, Calif., was dedicated Feb. 10.
The $500,000 project, consisting of eight offices, a classroom and a conference room, was funded by the Kims and other friends of Golden Gate Seminary.
The Kim Wing, located in the seminary’s administration building in Mill Valley, was completed after six months of renovation.
The dedication ceremonies honored David and Faith Kim of Southern California, who donated $5.25 million to finance the intercultural school’s launch in 1996. They came to the United States from Korea 35 years ago and have been active in California Southern Baptist work throughout the years.
David Kim, a former seminary trustee, is an orthopedic surgeon. His wife, Faith Kim, holds a doctor of ministry degree from Golden Gate and has taught at the seminary since 1991. She serves as associate professor of intercultural studies and Christian education and also as associate director of the Kim School.
“Contemporary ministry demands cross-cultural ministry skills,” said Golden Gate Chancellor William O. Crews. “This school was established to allow Golden Gate Seminary to craft a thorough program of intercultural studies and training to help church leaders minister to people of all cultures.”
