主任牧師 Lead Pastor
萬翔 Rev. Sean Wan
個人簡介
二十多年前,他以諮詢顧問的身份進入職場,在理性與策略之間穿梭,用數據與模型回應企業難題。在一次次看似完美的方案背後,作為基督徒的他逐渐意识到,人心深处的渴望与困惑,并非数据与逻辑所能完全回应和滿足。這個時代最大的匱乏不是資金、技術、管理工具和人才的匱乏,而是人心因為不認識神而導致的匱乏與空虛。因著這樣的省察,他開始重新審視人生的方向。
一次順服的決定,帶他離開熟悉的領域,在2015年來到美國進入正道福音神學院,並於2018年完成道學碩士(M.Div.)的裝備。那段歲月,不只是知識的積累,更是生命被塑造、被更新,呼召再次被堅固的過程——從依靠自己,到學習倚靠上帝的帶領。
畢業之後,他蒙 神帶領進入服事工場,在2019年1月,成為爾灣華人第一浸信會的一名傳道人,在2024年被按立為牧師,參與在上帝更大的敘事之中:在人的破碎中傳遞盼望與安慰,在時代的焦慮中見證使人得平安的真理。
在這段旅程裏,他並不孤單。他與妻子一同被呼召、彼此扶持,養育一女一子,在家庭中更多經歷恩典與操練。工作、學習、服事與家庭生活相互交織,形成一條清晰的主線——不是他在書寫自己的故事,而是上帝正在使用他和他服事的教會,以及許許多多敬虔愛主的弟兄姐妹,持續寫下屬於祂的故事。
More than two decades ago, he began his professional journey as a consultant, navigating between analysis and strategy and addressing complex business challenges with data and models. Yet behind many seemingly perfect solutions, he gradually came to recognize—through the eyes of his Christian faith—that the deepest longings and struggles of the human heart cannot be fully answered by logic or analytics alone. He became increasingly convinced that the greatest lack in our time is not a shortage of capital, technology, management tools, or talent, but a deeper emptiness in the human heart caused by not knowing God.
Out of this growing conviction, he began to reevaluate the direction of his life.
In an act of obedience, he stepped away from his familiar career path and moved to the United States in 2015 to pursue theological training at Logos Evangelical Seminary, where he earned his Master of Divinity (M.Div.) in 2018. Those years were not merely a season of academic study, but a time of spiritual formation—of being shaped, renewed, and strengthened in his calling. It was a journey from self-reliance to learning to depend fully on God’s guidance.
Following his graduation, he was led into ministry. In January 2019, he began serving as a minister at Irvine First Chinese Baptist Church, and in 2024, he was ordained as a pastor. In this role, he participates in God’s greater story—bringing hope and comfort into human brokenness and bearing witness, in an anxious age, to the truth that brings true peace.
Throughout this journey, he has not walked alone. Together with his wife, who shares in the same calling, they support one another in ministry while raising a daughter and a son. In the rhythms of work, study, ministry, and family life, a clear thread emerges: this is not merely his own story being written, but God’s story unfolding—through him, through the church he serves, and through many faithful brothers and sisters who love and follow the Lord.
