Involvement in Inter-faith Efforts
Kee has been involved in Interfaith dialogue in Singapore, as a representative of Christianity the Inter-Religious Organisation in Singapore. Kee has visited different religious organisations as a representative of the Christian faith. In 2017, when a Muslim imam made inappropriate remarks against Christians and Jews, Kee was among the 30 religious representatives present when the imam made his apology.

Jurong Church Hub
The building of Jurong Christian Church was a two-storey brick building since 1967. In 2007, the church was given notices by government authorities to reinforce some of its columns and beams to continue its operations. Kee decided to rebuild the church building to test his church hub concept that he had been discussing with the local authorities to mitigate the scarcity of land available for religious use in Singapore.

In January 2014, Kee, in his capacity as the Bishop of the Lutheran Church, led a project to build a church building that housed 6 churches from different denominations.
