Won Lee

Lead Pastor

Born and reared in Inchon, Korea (near capital city of Seoul) Won Lee grew up in the Korean Methodist Church and received his calling to ministry when he was twelve years old. Perhaps his calling was
influenced by his grandfather who had served as a pastor of Korean Methodist Church for over 45 years.


Following his completion of Bachelor of Arts degree in Theology at Methodist University in Seoul Korea, Won Lee came to America in 2002 and enrolled at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington D. C. to
further his theological training. Upon his graduation with a Master of Divinity Degree in 2005 he was received into the Virginia Conference.
Pastor Won is married to Young Lee and they have two boys, Elliot and Eric. Pastor Won and his family are eagerly looking forward to our shared journey of living into God’s vision as witnesses of Jesus Christ
at Culpeper United Methodist Church.

Kelly Weiss

Executive Director

Hi, I’m Kelly Weiss, the Executive Director at Culpeper United Methodist Church.  I joined Culpeper UMC in January 2018 after I heard God’s call to join this beautiful church in its mission, and I became a professing member of the church in February 2018.  I have been blessed to work for Culpeper UMC, to be part of this community, and to be involved with the many wonderful ways in which Culpeper UMC helps out in the community.  

Prior to joining Culpeper UMC, I spent 17 years at ATIS – the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions in Washington, D.C. where I was the Vice President of Finance and Operations.  I have also worked for law firms in Washington, D.C., for the Alaska Department of Revenue, and in the U.S. Senate for an Alaskan Senator. I received my Master of Public Administration from The American University, and my undergraduate degree from the University of Washington (go Huskies!).

I have been married to my lovely wife, Maria for 24 years. Maria works for the City of Charlottesville as the IT Operations Manager.  We have two amazing daughters, two Pugs, one Golden Retriever and four (!) cats.

Aly Wynham

Preschool Director

My name is Aly Wynham and I am excited to be joining the ministry team at Culpeper UMC as the Preschool Director. I will bring my classroom experience as a kindergarten teacher in Culpeper County Schools (2006-2015) and what I have learned as a local small business owner, to support Culpeper UMC Preschool as it continues to shine a light in our community.

I graduated from Monmouth University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and History and accepted a position at A.G Richardson Elementary where I taught kindergarten, first and second grade. In 2015 I decided to pursue another lifelong dream of opening my own small business in downtown Culpeper. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my son, who is serving in the Air Force and my daughter, who will be in high school this fall. I currently attend Grace Church of Fredericksburg.

Cheyenne Garvey

Children's Ministry Director

Hey there! I’m Cheyenne, the Children’s Director at Culpeper United Methodist Church. 
 
In undergrad, I studied divinity and nursing. In grad school, I decided to focus on divinity, specifically family ministry. As a lifelong UMC member, I've served in children’s ministry since 2014. Additionally, I've worked in the public health space, focusing on maternal well-being.  
 
My husband and I live in Remington with our two daughters. I love to garden and grow food for my family - so I joined our local community garden in the summer of 2022. I have so enjoyed providing food for my family and my community. If the children around me have Jesus in their hearts and dirt under their nails, I’m a happy woman! 
 
My passion in ministry is not only teaching our children to live like Jesus and to love Him - but to spread that love to others through sacrificial service and community outreach. I want the children in our community to feel loved by Culpeper UMC even if they never walk through our doors, and I want our children to be a part of that! 
 
I’m so thankful for this new opportunity to serve you.
