Biography
Chun Tse was born in Beijing and grew up in Hong Kong. He came to receive Jesus as his Savior and Lord while studying at the University of Maryland, USA, where he earned a PhD in Electrical Engineering. In 2001, he was called to full-time ministry. After graduating with a Master of Divinity from Bethel University in Minnesota in 2013, he pastored at Monmouth Community Christian Church in New Jersey and was ordained in 2015. During his pastorate, he also earned a Master of Theology in Systematic Theology from Westminster Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania. His research was published in a monograph, Assurance of Adoption: A New Paradigm for Assurance of Salvation (Eugene: Wipf & Stock). In 2022, after spending three years in the UK, he completed a PhD in Systematic Theology at the University of Edinburgh, focusing his research on the doctrine of assurance of the Scottish theologian-pastor Thomas Boston, which was published in 2023 as The Marrow of Certainty: Thomas Boston’s Theology of Assurance (Göttingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht). Since 2022, he has been serving as an Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies (New Testament) at Carey Theological College in Vancouver, Canada, where he teaches courses on the New Testament, Church History, Systematic Theology, and more. Dr. Tse and his wife have three daughters.
