Coming from Indonesia to United States in 2002 as an architect, Vincent started working at Trinity as a youth director until he was ordained under PCUSA in February 2013 as an Associate Pastor of Trinity. He stepped in as a temporary pastor of Trinity in September 2013 and was called to be the Pastor of Trinity on January 11, 2015. Vincent received his theology education from Fuller Seminary and San Francisco Theological Seminary (SFTS). He earned his Doctor of Ministry degree from the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley in December 2023 with a focus on Art and Christian Spirituality.
