Chen Meihui (陳美蕙)

Identity Snapshot

The official |Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church (ITPC) history states that |張宣信牧師 left ITPC in June 2020 after twenty-one years of service and that 陳美蕙牧師 was called immediately afterward to continue pastoral ministry without interruption. The document describes her as having substantial ability and experience, while giving no extended biography in the extracted text.

Wider Source Signals

|GSTPC bulletin ingestion also captured 陳美蕙牧師 / Pastor Chen as a sermon speaker in a 2020 Taiwanese Presbyterian bulletin context. This supports her presence in regional Taiwanese Presbyterian church-source material, though it should not be treated as a full biography.

Additional Vault Mentions

  • May 2022 ITPC shooting: the TAH/LTC report ([[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/our-journeys-380||TAH #380, 2022/05]]) records that on the day of the shooting Chen was recovering from surgery — Rev. 李輔仁 had been covering her Sunday service duties at a neighboring church, which is why he and visiting former pastor 張宣信 were the clergy on site. This places her as the serving ITPC pastor as of May 2022.
  • NTPC: 陳美蕙 was a panelist at the |NTPC 51st Annual Conference (May 2025, Houston), per the 台灣教會公報 2025-05-09 note on that page.
  • GSTPC: the GSTPC speaker roster (2009–2026) lists Rev. 陳美蕙 among notable preachers, consistent with the bulletin-ingestion signal above.

Current-Leadership Note

The ITPC official site’s 2025–2026 pastor page lists 李輔仁牧師 (Rev. Fu-Jen Li) as current pastor. For that reason, this page records 陳美蕙牧師 as a historical ITPC pastoral leader rather than the current pastor.
