Pastor Chris Chan
Heeding the call of God, Pastor Chris Chan and his wife relocated from California to the Pacific Northwest to plant a church primarily among foreign students. Starting with just five college students the work grew to become a multi-site, multi ethnic church of several hundred congregants. Many of his former church members had moved back to their homeland after their higher education in the U.S. and were serving as pastors of churches and successful entrepreneurs in major cities in Indonesia. Besides pastoring a local church in Seattle, Pastor Chris had also traveled extensively conducting pastors’ conferences and crusades in nations of Pakistan, India, Indonesia and Africa. He had led a few short-term mission trips to Indonesia. Chris is a skilled pastor and teacher with a strong passion for touching and transforming young people with the love of Christ.
Chris graduated from Fresno State University with a Bachelor's in Business Administration (summa cum laude). He is a Certified Public Accountant from California and Washington and has two graduate business degrees from Santa Clara University (MBA) and Golden Gate University (MS in Taxation). His theological degrees include a B.A. in Biblical Studies from Northern California Bible College and a MAT from Fuller Theological Seminary. He is a Doctor of Ministry candidate at Regent University (ABD).
Presently, Pastor Chris is serving as the controller of Christian Veterinary Mission.
