Our History
In 2005, Pastor Philip Chhetri founded Glorious Church Ministries, together with co-founders Pastors Dev K. Chhetri, Dhan B. Lama, and Uttam K. Chhetri, as a church-planting and orphan care ministry in Nepal. The ministry was strengthened through the faithful support of Harold Waterfield, Rev. Ian Smart, Paul Harris, and Graham Blair from the United Kingdom. Their consistent prayers and partnership played a vital role in establishing churches and caring for orphaned children, thereby extending God’s love, compassion, and hope. By God’s grace, churches were established in major cities, including Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Hetauda, and the ministry experienced significant growth and impact.
During a visit to Seattle in 2006, God placed a vision in Pastor Chhetri’s heart to expand the ministry to Seattle and beyond, with a focus on discipling nations through the Gospel. This vision was fulfilled in 2014 when Pastor Chhetri, his wife Elu Thapa, their daughter Philu, and Pastor Jit Lama, a dedicated servant of God with experience in church planting and teaching in Nepal, established a church in North Seattle, Washington. Together, they laid a strong foundation for a Christ-centered ministry committed to fulfilling the Great Commission.
