About
Prior to joining the graduate programs team at Trinity, Dr. Saehee Duran, ordained with the Assemblies of God (AG), had been actively serving as a lead pastor of intercultural church, professor at Evangel University, police chaplain, and training facilitator/podcaster for the AG Network of Women Ministers. Her leadership extended beyond the local church as she served in various local, regional, and national boards to champion people from various ethnic-cultural backgrounds.Â
She received an Outstanding Young Alumni award by Evangel University (2020), recognized as one of the Most Influential Women by Springfield Business Journal (2020), and nominated as Top 10 Leaders for the Next 10 Years by Biz417 (2021).Â
In the summer of 2022, she became the first elected female president of Korean-English Fellowship. She is an alumna of Central Bible College, Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, and Southeastern University.Â
She and her husband, Dr. Damon Duran, have been married since 2003 and enjoy mentoring young couples and parenting three beautiful god-honoring children! She loves empowering the next gen leaders, meeting new friends over coffee or dinner, and spending downtime with her family at home or overseas.
