Free Community Church

The leadership and management of FREE COMMUNITY CHURCH comprises of a team of individuals that represents the diversity of the Church.

		Susan TANG Chairperson Susan grew up a preacher’s kid, now wife of 1 husband and mother of 3 teenagers. Theologically liberal leanings largely imbibed from her father who continues to be a man ahead of his time. With socially conscious leanings similarly planted, Susan spends her time outside of family and church, in volunteer work with under-privileged children through various organisations. Somewhat of a misfit in mainstream churches, she has found a refreshing off-stream in the openly welcoming, all-inclusive and theologically diverse Free Community Church. Her hope is that FCC will live up to its reputation of being a scandalous church serving a scandalous God, and one that responds faithfully and authentically to an ever-changing world.
		Peter GOH Vice-Chairperson A part of Peter longs to withdraw into a monastic life of quietness and the earthen task of tending to animals and plants. Somehow he finds himself involved in christian fellowship and church committees of one kind or another since his school days. He believes in dismantling human-erected barriers that seperate people from the God they seek. He hopes to build a church with space for God to be God. Peter pursued Chemistry to the doctorate level. Having satisfied his desire to contribute to the body of knowledge, he now tries to re-invent himself in the civil service. He lives with his partner Rizal, and their jumpy italian greyhound Charlotte.
		Clarence SINGAM Clarence loves to hear his own voice so much that we made him preach at least once every other month in church (proof that FCC has room for everyone)! His Christian upbringing happened in the Methodist, Brethren, Baptist, Fundamentalist and Charistmatic traditions - all these reflecting his incredibly divergent personality (again proof that FCC has room for everyone). After years of struggling over his own personhood he came to realize what all of us know in our hearts and heads - that Christ loves us for who we are - not more not less (which proves that good education does not necessarily improve intelligence).
		Jorg DIETZEL Jorg originally comes from Germany where he grew up in the Lutheran church. As a student, he experienced his second baptism at the Church of the Nazarene in Durban, South Africa. After stations in London, Beijing, Berlin and Hong Kong, he has now made Singapore his home. Jorg is married to his spouse of 11+ years, and they have adopted a Singaporean mongrel called 'Ah Fook'. On the council, Jorg is currently responsible for the cell group ministry. He preaches regularly. His mini bio here is so serious because Germans are not allowed to have a sense of humour.
		Joshua TAN Joshua and his family "tripped" into FCC one Sunday morning and found themselves stuck there ever since. He and his wife Kyong do not need to go to the gym, as they expend enough energy chasing after their two young boys, Caleb and Gabriel. Although legally trained, he prefers to go fishing any time. He has a day time job which he complains a lot about to his poor wife. His night duties are also quite interesting and include exhausting his two very energetic boys to sleep and also showing love and concern for his equally "spent" wife.
		Gary CHAN Gary grew up in a Christian family in the Presbyterian tradition. Back then God was simply the “big guy” that he would run to (frequently) when in times of trouble. But his journey with God really got started in his early 20s when he gave his life to Christ at an altar call in a Methodist church where he was the only respondent. He subsequently spent the next seven years of his spiritual development in a large charismatic church with a strong focus on evangelism where he was involved in the worship ministry. Gary helped start and manage the Sunday Service at the Free Community Church and is actively involved with the worship team and church administration.
