    Early life and education

    As a teenager growing up in Seattle, Treat was heavily involved with drugs and alcohol. In 1974, at the age of 19, he entered a drug rehab center. During his time there, he became born again and began to learn how to "renew his mind" through the Bible, which he had accepted as the word of God. Treat then received his bachelor of theology from Seattle Bible College, and married the former Wendy Peterson (born January 27, 1957 in Seattle), whom he met while in college [2] in 1978.[1]

    Ministry

    Christian Faith Center

    In 1980, the Treats, while both were still attending bible college, founded the Christian Faith Center in Seattle; the first services initially would meet in a gymnasium foyer of the Seattle Christian School.[1] In 2010, the Christian Faith Center started claiming to be the largest church in the Pacific Northwest, with three locations (in Federal Way, Mill Creek and Gig Harbor, Washington) claiming more than 10,000 people attending weekly services.

    Christian Faith International

    In addition, Pastor Treat's media ministry, Christian Faith International, has a worldwide outreach.

    Family/Personal life

    Treat resides in the Seattle area with Wendy and their three grown children, Caleb, Tasha and Micah. Caleb, whom has been involved previously in a sexual harassment lawsuit at the megachurch's branch in Federal Way, is now married to the former Christa Bouchee.[3] Tasha recently married Moses Masitha, a man from South Africa.[4]

    Awards and recognitions

    In 2009, Treat received an honorary doctorate degree from Hansei University in Seoul, South Korea (through Dr. David Yonggi Cho and Dr. Kim Sunghae Cho), recognizing his accomplishments in the ministry for almost 30 years.
