Our Pastor
Rev. Douglas Louie was born
in Hong Kong and grew up in Seattle, Washington. In
college, he studied engineering and mathematics.
After graduation he worked as an engineer for one
year. It was during that time that he felt that
there was little meaning in life. After searching
for answers in various religions and finding no
satisfaction, he started attending a Christian
church and came to the knowledge of Christ.
At age 22, Pastor Louie
Committed his life to God and to serve Him in the
ministry. Instead of immediately receiving the
calling to the ministry, he was led to go into the
field of Medicine. After his medical training, Dr.
Louie also completed graduate studies in Public
Health and Psychology. He has been practicing
medicine since 1985.
Soon after his
conversion, Dr. Louie felt that God would call him
into the ministry some day. As result, he continued
to take classes in the local churches and Bible
school to equip himself for the ministry as a layman
or as a minister. In the year 2000, he completed
his Doctor of Ministry degree from the Northwest
Graduate School of Ministry. Dr. Louie was ordained
in 2002.
In late 2001, Dr. Louie
perceived the need for a Chinese Christian church in
Tacoma, and he felt the calling to enter into
ministry. With the support of his family and
several individuals, the Chinese Christian Church of
Tacoma was formed in January of 2002. Currently,
Dr. Louie is the pastor of this church and continues
with his full time medical practice. Pastor Louie
and his wife, Belinda have two children, Philip and
Andrea. The whole family commits to serve the Lord. |
