Shortly after the Church was established, he returned to his ministry in the Far East. Rev. John Sun, who now pastors Evangelical Chinese Bible Church in Vancouver, B.C., was called by the Lord to lead the Church for about one year. The Lord led Rev. Jeremy Law to lead the ministry at ECC for seven years until he went to be with the Lord in 1977. Aware of the need, Dr. Paul Shen returned to Seattle and resumed pastoral care at ECC until 1984 when he became Pastor Emeritus.

The Lord brought Pastor Simon Chou as our Assistant to the Pastor in 1979, and Pastor Johnny To as our Youth Director in 1983. Blessed by the Lord, the Church started an English worship service in 1991 to meet the needs of the English speaking parishioners. Nickolay Mak served as a Youth Director in 1991-93. In 1996, the Lord led Dr. Sam Law to be the Assistant to the Pastor of ECC to meet the growing needs of the youth ministry and English speaking congregation.

The Lord has blessed our church with steady growth since 1967. God has also been faithful in our vision of planting satellite churches in the Greater Seattle area. To date, we have ECC Tacoma, Eastside Community Christian Church, ECC of South King County, and ECC of Snohomish County among our sister churches as we press on with our vision to reach the unchurched and to bring the gospel to ethnic Chinese in the suburbs.

Demographic changes of the ethnic Chinese population also led us to expand our ministry to the English and Cantonese speaking members in the Greater Seattle area. Presently, there are Sunday worship services and Sunday schools for English, Mandarin, and Cantonese speaking congregations. In addition, we also have active and growing children's programs that are designed to nurture and teach our children the Word of God.

While our congregation is mainly ethnic Chinese, we welcome all who desire to worship, fellowship, serve, and grow in Christ Jesus with us. We hope you will find the information you need and consider making the Evangelical Chinese Church your home as well.
