Dominion Welcomes New Faculty Member ...

 

It is with excitement that we announce the addition of Mr. Tae Chin to the faculty of Dominion Christian Schools. Mr. Chin will be teaching 7th, 8th, and 9th grade Bible classes.

 

Tae Chin has been ministering to many different students for over ten years. He is thankful to be a part of the Dominion Christian School team and is excited about the biblical journey that God has in store for this school year. Drawing from training and experiences in communication, philosophy, education, and pastoral ministry, Tae seeks to engage our future leaders in their changing, contemporary cultures and contexts with the eternal, unchanging word of God.   

 

When Tae is not ministering to students and beyond, he enjoys biking, photography, movies, trying new foods, and walking nature trails with his wife, Sophia. Tae and Sophia are expecting their first child, Evelyn, in June 2015. 

 

Please join us in welcoming Mr. Chin to Dominion Christian Schools.
