TJ Watanabe
Youth Director
TJ first came to Seattle Foursquare in 2022 and wasted no time jumping into youth ministry. Born and raised in Hawaii, he spent five years as a Youth Director at his local church before God threw a plot twist his way—calling him to pack up and move to Washington in 2020. In 2023, he stepped into the role of Youth Director and couldn’t be more excited to help the next generation know, experience, and share the love of Jesus. He’s especially passionate about seeing students take ownership of their faith and build a strong, Christ-centered community. TJ and his wife, Bekah, have a daughter, Zoey, who keeps them on their toes and fills their home with joy.
