Lee was born and raised in a Christian family in McMinnville, Tn. He professed his faith in Jesus and was baptized at a very early age. As he grew up, he had many experiences that challenged and strengthened his faith. Lee had a special calling early in life, but it was in 2014 when he let God take over!  After spending some years as a member of Friendship church he felt God calling him to pursue the youth pastor position there. He has a special bond with each child and a heart to teach, motivate and push kids in the God life. Lee's goal here at FBC is to bring students closer to Jesus through relationship-building and Bible teaching. Lee married his wife, Christy, in 1996. They have two children, Rebecca and Dylan Partain. Lee enjoys spending his time at home for the most part and taking vacations with the family. He is also a sports fan, who grew up cheering for the Vanderbilt Commodores due to his uncle being an usher at the stadiums.
