Vice President: Ramesh Barnabas (standing R)
Treasurer: Florence Goh (standing R)
Secretary: Debbie Tang (standing L)
Member: Ps Tom Cannon (standing L)

 

Our Board of Elders (BOE), in tandem with the pastors, are instrumental in the spiritual discernment of God’s direction, shaping policies, and giving direction to the church. They lead and serve together as a team, drawing from their combined strengths. The Elders are elected to serve two years on the Board. On an annual basis, members are being nominated by church members for their servant leadership qualities such as faithfulness, humility and willingness to learn; and shortlisted candidates are thereafter elected during the annual general meeting. We are deeply appreciative of members who have stepped up to the role of providing leadership and direction for our church.
