Pastor Johnny Kan has been the pastor of Jurong English Church for almost 8 years. He and his wife, Pik Yee, are instrumental in transforming Jurong Church into a livelier and friendlier environment where people can come to. He comes from an Adventist family with 3 other siblings whose father was a pastor of Jurong Chinese Church. Often said by himself of being very rebellious in his teens, he has experienced a complete turn-around by accepting God’s call to enter seminary. It was a tough decision, as prior to that, he had a diploma in Mechanical Engineering and it was through Pik Yee’s (then his girlfriend) encouragement that he decided to thread the path to being a pastor.

He started his full-time ministry by being a Chaplain for San Yu High School. He then moved on to be associate/youth pastor for Thomson Chinese Church. After which, he became the pastor for Jurong English Church. But not only is he a pastor, he’s also Singapore Adventist Mission’s Secretary and currently pursuing his Doctorate of Ministry degree.

Besides his pastoral life, he enjoys delving into the latest IT equipment and gadgets and often attends exhibitions like COMDEX and the PC Show. Jurong Church has benefited from the introduction of technology to help make the Church a more conducive place of worship.

Pastor Kan is also passionate in helping people to know God. He is active in empowering lay members for ministry positions. This can be seen to be in line with his vision - to build the congregation in Jurong Church to be a healthy evangelistic body of Christ
