Note on King’s College Seminary: KC was born during the pandemic, but we've been ordaining ministers for over 7 years.
Our College Chancellor Michael Wieteska, previously led the Swiss pentecostal family of French and English speaking churches and has now passed the torch to his successors in Switzerland. Rev Dr Michael's experience inspired me to create this training program for current & future ministers in Asia.
Our college places great importance on family and the idea of a strong family life within the community. This forms the basis for our belief in a theologically and pastorally grounded future for Singapore.
We work with partners in various faith communities across Asia, including CNX, FUK, MNL. Our reach spans four time zones, from Pakistan to Japan.
Our approach is straightforward. As a Spirit-led family of churches, we identify candidates ready for ordination through word of mouth, social media, and existing networks, and provide the necessary support and guidance.
Our focus is on the teachings of Melchizedek not Aaron or Moses. While we do include Torah studies, our credentials do not come from the Levitical order.
Ordination through the Levitical order places New Testament believers in a secondary position because it is primarily for and by the Jews.
We do study the Old Testament, but it serves as our foundation, not our limit. For Jews, the Torah is their guide. For Christians, the Torah is our foundation, but we look forward to the Throne.
King’s College Seminary is an online college with study tours, accelerator events in various cities throughout the year.
However, its spiritual coverage is under Chancellor Bishop Mike based in Cairns and Dean of Graduate Studies Dr Preecha Jengjalern based in Chiang Mai.
Oikos in Singapore remains its legal coverage working with various accreditation partners to bulk up our research capacity including our red dot Thesis library situated in the heart of the new Kallang Airport Way BTO developments.
Personal note: After returning from the Philippines in Dec 2023, my knees are recovering from inflammation. It seems like they're healing naturally, without medical help. Similarly, several support structures in the Geylang mission continue to grow from strength to strength.
We're also working on our relationships with our property landlord, BeeLian, and possibly Benson. Our organization on L3 / 175, formerly known as the “Filipino Ministry”, has changed its name as part of this renewal process to the “Nations Gate (Oikos)”. We've included Pastor Gary and Rev Irene, who were my mentors 40 years ago.
