Pastor Victor Chen

Victor serves as Associate Pastor overseeing Family ministries. Though Victor grew up attending church in his early years, it wasn't until the end of High School that he considered Christianity seriously. He was invited with a couple friends to Evergreen before his senior year of high school and was challenged to make his faith in Jesus public. Victor was baptized alongside his friends, weeks before their high school graduation.

Victor went on to attend UCLA as a pre-med student. After graduation, and with full intentions of heading to medical school, Victor took a summer trip to an orphanage in Asia where the Lord redirected him away from medicine to pursue vocational pastoral ministry. As an intern at Evergreen he served in various capacities –helping out with music, young adult ministries and short-term missions. After graduating from Talbot Seminary with an M. Div, he would later join the pastoral staff as a full-time pastor in Outreach ministries in 2010.

Victor is happily married to Kelly, and together they have 3 children ranging from high school to elementary school age. He enjoys having coffee with Kelly, reading fictional works (especially the classics), golfing and watching his children compete in sports.
