Lisa R. Harris Lee

Lisa Harris Lee is director of American Baptist Home Mission Societies’ Healing & Transforming Communities unit, which is comprised of ministries of volunteer mobilization, disaster response, community outreach and public witness and advocacy to make visible the love of God and nurture Christ-centered interdependence in the United States and Puerto Rico. 

ABHMS is in partnership with ministries that are engaged in a wide variety of community-related healing and transformational ministries, including housing, HIV/AIDs, addiction, childhood and family services, immigration, services for veterans, outreach to returning citizens, and senior citizen programs.

In this role, Harris Lee exhibits the same passion that helped her answer the call to ordained ministry in 1994: “a passion to bring people as close to God and as close to one another as possible,” she says, based on the great commandment to love God, neighbor and self.
