Source Notes and Confidence

  • Primary source: ITPC official website (https://www.itpc.org.tw/), pastor/leadership page listing 李輔仁牧師 as current pastor (2025–2026).
  • Supporting context: Chen Meihui page references Li Fu-Jen as “current ITPC pastor per official site.”
  • Source confidence: medium — the ITPC site is not currently accessible from this environment for independent verification; information is based on prior crawl data and cross-references in existing Echopedia content.
  • Romanization note: “Li Fu-Jen” follows Mandarin pinyin conventions; church contexts also use “Rev. Fu-Jen Li.”

Vault Cross-References

  • August 2025 succession: the ITPC pastoral chronology recorded on |Kuo Yingyan (郭應言) names Li Fu-Jen as the congregation’s current pastor from August 2025, after the founding-stage pastorate of |Cheng Quansheng (鄭泉聲) and the later pastorates of Zhang Xuanxin and Chen Meihui.
  • May 2022 ITPC shooting: the TAH report ([[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/our-journeys-380||TAH #380, 2022/05]]) records that Rev. 李輔仁 had been covering |Chen Meihui (陳美蕙)‘s Sunday service duties at a neighboring church while she recovered from surgery — which is why he and visiting former pastor |Zhang Xuanxin (張宣信) were the clergy on site that day.
  • 2023 memorial album: a 台灣教會公報 report archived in the vault (2023-03-20) records that ITPC published the bilingual memorial volume 《今生難忘的5152022》 before the shooting’s first anniversary, with 時任牧師李輔仁 writing the preface: the album was meant both to record the attack and to keep reminding 海外台美人 of their history, identity, and struggles. See 台灣教會公報 via taiwanjustice.net, 2023-03-20.
  • Family background: the church page |ITPC records that Li was born into a non-religious but loving family as the sixth of seven siblings; his father, a self-made businessman, studied electrical engineering at Waseda University in Japan, and his mother was a daughter of the 台北六張犁黃家, a prominent Taiwanese Christian family.
