Gracie Chen was born in Washington and grew up attending ECC at the Redmond campus. At the age of eight, she moved to Taiwan where her parent’s ministry on the mission field impacted her relationship with Christ deeply.

She attended Wheaton College and graduated May 2026, receiving her bachelor’s in Integrated Anthropology and Christian Formation and Ministry with a Biblical Theological Studies minor. Consistently involved in children’s ministry, she felt the Lord guiding her post grad toward youth ministry with the hopes of discerning a future direction toward family counseling.

Gracie is passionate about working with kids and connecting with people. In her free time, she also enjoys reading, going on walks, being creative through arts and crafts, and hosting friends for meals.
