The Fairview Church Staff

Lead Pastor

TJ Samuelu

As the Lead pastor it is my privilege to welcome you to the Fairview Church. It is our purpose to help the church minister to the people of the Seattle area and beyond.

My wife, Courtney, and I have been working together in ministry since 2007. We have 3 beautiful children: son Tre, daughter Elekana, & son Isaia. I graduated from Oklahoma Christian University in Portland, OR. My journey started in Vancouver, WA working for a non-profit that focused on teen suicide prevention and local outreach. I then served at King's Way Christian Schools/Vancouver Church of God as the high school Bible teacher and the Golf & Track head coach and then transitioned to serving as the Missions Pastor for Vancouver Church and joined the Church of God - Global Strategy team. Before landing in Seattle I served as the Associate/Missions Pastor at Cloverdale Church of God in Boise, ID. Now as the Lead Pastor here at The Fairview Church in Seattle, I feel a genuine spirit of family and community.

Whether church attendance is a customary habit for you or you have no idea what people do when they gather on Sunday mornings, you are welcome to come and find out what we are all about. Join us Sundays at 10:30 am in-person or online!
