Minister Ting-Hua Chang
Ministry of Chinese Ministry
Minister Chang was born in Taiwan. He came to the United States in 1989 and study for his master’s at New Mexico State University. During his studies, he became a believer in the Bible study class on campus. He graduated with a doctorate in 1999 and served as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After returning to Taiwan in 2002, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher, then transferred to teach in the Information Management Department of Lingtung University of Science and Technology in Taichung.
In 2014, he responded to God’s call and put down his work to study for a Master of Divinity at Chung Tai Theological Seminary in Taichung. After completing his studies, he went to the United States in 2018 to study at Westminster Theological Seminary. He obtained a master’s degree in theology in 2021 and then stayed at Trinity Chinese Church in Philadelphia to serve as a preacher.
While in Taiwan, he attended Taichung Liberty Road Baptist Church, served as a church deacon, a Sunday school teacher, and a Sunday speaker for nearly ten years. He and his church colleagues went to some areas to train disciples, and saw that the harvest field was vast but there was a shortage of workers. This call became the main direction of Minister Chang’s ministry in the future. Currently, Minister Chang oversees preaching, Sunday school, community service and discipleship training in the Chinese ministry.
Minister Chang and his wife have been married for nearly 30 years and have two daughters.
