Senior Pastor: Steven Tsai
Pastor Steven was born in Taiwan. At the age of 15, he went to Canada to study as an international student and stayed after university. He worked in the IT field for about 10 years and was called to full-time ministry after a short-term mission trip to Panama in 2005.
He believes that the purpose of the Church is mission, regardless of location or race. He also believes that the Church should strive for excellence in demonstrating the sacrificial love of Christ, so that we can be recognized as His disciples. He is also a believer in continuous learning.
His wish for EFCOC is to build a nurture ground for intellectual and innovative Christians to further God’s kingdom. Pastor Steven is happily married with two adult children.

Ted Kau
Ted is passionate about sharing the transformative love of Jesus, witnessing lives dramatically shift from rage to serenity, depression to delight, purposelessness to passion, and darkness to divine light.
As a father to three amazing grown children and a husband to his wife/best friend, Ted realizes that this blessedness comes only from God’s Word and His grace.
He’d be thrilled to connect with you over a fresh cup of artisan coffee or tea—let’s get to know each other better!
