Chan's parents both died by the time he was 12 years old. He was somewhat close to his brother growing up. He did not get along well with his father, but says that his fear of his father has helped him understand a level of fear of God. He also stated he didn’t understand the love of God well until he became a father himself.

As a high-school and then junior-college student, Chan was active in Christian youth groups which helped develop his faith in Christ and his interest in ministry.

Before becoming a senior pastor, Francis worked for a variety of employers including Taco Bell, Mic Pizza, Kirby Company, Ralphs Market, Broadway Mens Clothing, hardwood flooring contractors, and the Acapulco restaurant.

He has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Master's College and a Master of Divinity degree from Master's Seminary. Francis authored Crazy Love in 2008, and in 2009 followed that with Forgotten God. Both reached the top of Christian book charts everywhere, as well as New York Times Best Sellers in that genre.

After a three-month leave from Cornerstone, Francis said he felt convicted to sacrifice more for God. "Chan gives away about 90 percent of his income ... Chan doesn't take a salary from his church, and he has donated all of his book royalties, which total about $500,000 to various charities. Much of it goes o organizations which rescue sex slaves in foreign countries."Furthermore, in 2008 it was reported that Cornerstone would give away 55% of its income to charitable causes.
