Godly leadership is critical to the church, and Calvary recognises two formal leadership offices — that of pastors, elders and deacons.

(1 Tim 3:1-13, Titus 1:5-9, Acts 6:1-4)


Pastors

Calvary's pastors preach and teach God's Word, and shepherd and lead the people under their care. They safeguard doctrines and equip the congregation for ministry.

Reverend Koh Kok Chuan

Koh Kok Chuan is Lead Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church with primary responsibility for the English Congregation. He started serving full-time at Calvary in 2001, first as Church Administrator and then as Youth & Young Adults Pastor and Missions Pastor.

He has a M (Div.) degree from Baptist Theological Seminary Singapore and a BBA (Hons) degree from National University of Singapore. Prior to joining Calvary, he had worked for 15 years with Singapore Airlines carrying out job assignments in Singapore, Indonesia, Japan and the United States.

Ps KC is married to Jennifer for 32 years and they are wonderfully blessed with 5 children – 4 young adults and a teenager.

His passion is supporting his favourite soccer club, Liverpool F.C.

Reverend Tony Chia

Tony Chia is Pastor of the Chinese Congregation (Mandarin and Hokkien) at Calvary. He has been very passionate in serving the Lord Jesus Christ since his conversion in 1980. He felt God's calling to go into full-time ministry at a youth camp in 1983. He is married to Priscilla and they have four children.

He was Pastor at Yio Chu Kang Gospel Hall for 21 years. He was serving as Pastor and studying at the Singapore Bible College at the same time, before graduating with a Bachelor of Theology degree in 1988. He joined Calvary in 2008.

Ps Tony's passion is to help believers grow in their walk with God. He loves to be with his family and to spend time reading books.

Pastor Wong Yew Keong, John

John YK Wong oversees the Family Life ministry in Calvary. He was born and raised in Kuala Lumpur (M’sia), accepted the Lord and was baptised at the age of 16. He first sensed and responded to God’s call for cross-cultural missions during his University days in Singapore. 

Before going into full time Christian ministry, he had spent a decade in the IT industry in marketing and management in both Singapore and Tokyo. Upon completing the M.Div in Singapore Bible College, together with his wife Tomomi, they joined OMF (Overseas Missionary Fellowship) as missionaries to Japan, serving in pastoral and counselling ministry. 

His passion is to see people reached, touched and changed through experiencing God and knowing His Word. Ps John loves nature, mountains, onsen and ramen… also loves his wife and their three boys!

Pastor Elijah-James Ke

Elijah-James Ke is Assistant Pastor (Next Generation) at Calvary. He has been actively involved in both local-church and para-church Christian ministry among young people since his early teenage years.

Having trained as an accountant at Nanyang Technological University, Ps James subsequently became a Chartered Accountant (Singapore). He worked in the financial industry for six years. This included stints in both the back office and front office.

He answered God’s call to go into full-time local church ministry in 2012 and obtained his Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary, California, USA, in 2015. Since then, he has been pastoring young people at Calvary.

He and his wife Gail have two young boys.

Ps James' primary passions include digging deeper into the Word of God, building up God's Church by connecting the Bible to daily life and sharing the Good News. He also enjoys following sporting developments worldwide.
