About My Family
My name is Loc Nguyen, and I love God. I was born in Vietnam and experienced God’s grace in the hard years after the war, when my father was imprisoned as a pastor. In 2006, I came to the U.S. in 2006 and have been welcomed to serve with Southern Baptist churches in the Carolinas.
I’m married to Thien‑Huong and blessed with a young daughter, Thien‑Au, and a son, Thien‑Ky. We love opening our home and are grateful to serve Christ through healthcare chaplaincy and at Greenville Vietnamese Baptist Church, pointing people to the hope we have in Jesus.

About My Ministry
I serve as an SBC-endorsed healthcare chaplain, providing spiritual care to patients, families, and staff in times of crisis, illness, and grief. I also serve as lead pastor at Greenville Vietnamese Baptist Church, encouraging believers and reaching out to the Vietnamese community with the good news of Christ.
My desire is to reflect the compassion of Jesus and to partner with local churches so people are cared for both physically and spiritually.

SBC Chaplaincy
Chaplaincy is a vital frontline ministry and extension of the local church. Chaplains reach the lost among the thousands of men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces, correctional facilities, healthcare settings, public safety, disaster relief sites, and corporate environments. SBC Chaplains care for the broken, offer hope to the hopeless, and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ in hard-to-reach places.
The qualifications expected of a Southern Baptist applying for endorsement as a chaplain or counselor are established by their institution and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy or counseling ministry involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.
