Meet the Pastor

Pastor Ken Ecker


Since the early 1970s, Ken has had a passion for training young Christians, and leading them into the deeper things of God. He directed The Master's Commission in Tacoma from 1999-2004, imparting knowledge of God to college-aged students. Ken has a zeal for learning the Word of God which led him to receive his Doctor of Ministry degree in 2002.

God led Pastor Ken into Deaf Ministry beginning in 1976. He has interpreted many major Christian events, including Billy Graham crusades and Promise Keepers conferences. He began interpreting Sunday church services in Tacoma since 1990, and in 1995 he established Deaf Church For All Nations. As the congregation matured and grew, in May, 2007, the church was launched into its own independent church, with a new name: Hands of Praise Deaf Church.

Hands of Praise Deaf Church continues to thrive in Tacoma with a congregation who are eager to grow in the Word of God.
