Ché Ahn (born January 17, 1956) is a Korean American evangelical pastor. Along with his wife, Sue Ahn, Ahn founded Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, California in 1994. Originally a small multi-ethnic congregation, Harvest Rock Church has grown into a large church emphasizing supernatural experiences, love, and equipping believers for revival and societal reformation. Ahn also established Harvest International Ministry in 1996; this apostolic network connects over 25,000 churches and ministries across more than 60 countries.
As a child, Ahn immigrated to the United States with his family after the Korean War. A spiritual encounter at age seventeen redirected his path toward Christian ministry. Ahn earned a Master of Divinity and a Doctor of Ministry from Fuller Theological Seminary. He was mentored by C. Peter Wagner, who introduced him to apostolic leadership and spiritual warfare and shaped his approach to church growth and global outreach. Ahn serves as the International Chancellor of Wagner University. He is a key figure in the New Apostolic Reformation movement, promoting apostolic and prophetic governance over traditional church structures while emphasizing strategic spiritual warfare and advocating the Seven Mountain Mandate for Christians to influence societal spheres.
