About Our Community

Ser Choon came to know Christ in his late teens (1975). In university, he heeded the call to mission work, worked for a few years and then went to bible college. Thereafter, he served in the church and a mission agency. During a two year sabbatical at Regent College (1997-1999, Vancouver), under the teaching of James M Houston and Eugene H Peterson, he had an entire rethink about his Christian life and philosophy of ministry. Upon return to Singapore, he taught Christian Spirituality in a bible college for some years before starting this spiritual formation ministry in 2004.
The Regent College experience regrounded his faith and life. There, he discovered afresh that God is relational – One yet Three Persons, Father, Son and Spirit, an eternal community in perfect communion. Another re-discovery was the rich spiritual traditions and heritage of the Christian faith beyond the Reformation to the first century which further opened his eyes to the “glorious inheritance of the saints” in Christ (Eph 1:18).

Amelia’s areas of passion are in Spiritual Formation, Leadership Development & Coaching. Over the years, she discovered a natural love for building communities & relationships. She enjoys being involved in anything related to creating spaces for people to spend time on inner work and facilitating deeper conversations in small groups, especially groups that work or live closely together. She desires to value each person, in community.
Amelia is generally warm, welcoming and inclusive. But in her areas of passion, she has been told (and it is true) that she can be too intense. She is still being formed in some of her strong convictions.
Amelia attended her first spiritual retreat with CSF (then Trinity Life Community) in 2007. More than a decade (still on-going) of internal wrestling as a Christ-follower convinces her about the value of silence and solitude.

Yanhua is from China and a lawyer by training. She became a follower of Christ in the midst of her doctoral study in the U.S. Her family then relocated to Singapore. She was drawn to CSF after completing her Master in Biblical Studies in Singapore Bible College. Since then she has been involved with CSF in various ways with much delight as a learner, teacher, and practitioner with the CSF community. She is grateful as well for all the experiences of pain in the process of spiritual growth.
Spiritual formation is the slowest motion in the world. She is still learning to wait and watch, to discern then cooperate, to retreat as well as to relate on her journey to becoming the Yanhua that God wants her to be.
