Board of Deacons

Dear Brothers and Sisters, it is time to report what happened to our Church in the eyes of the Board of Deacons. 

In 2024, we have nine Deacons: three from Cantonese ministry, four from English ministry and two from Mandarin ministry.  We continued improve the administrative work and being more transparent to brothers and sisters.  Deacons hoped moms and dads love the gift prepared for Mother’s Day 2024 and Father’s Day 2023. We have assessed the workload of our administrators to balance the time they spent on church administration.  We also initiated the quarterly financial briefs, which we wish brothers and sisters to understand the financial situation of NSCAC, and where the offerings go.  We thank God that we have a youth Deacon joining the team.  The Board of Deacons are happy that more and more young people would like to step up and serve God in handling administrative matters of our Church.

2024 is also a challenging year for the Board of Deacons.  NSCAC experienced huge growth in the number of patrons.  We encountered cash flow difficulties at the beginning of 2023/24. With God’s grace and the love of brothers and sisters, NSCAC managed to repay a temporary cash flow loan and most of the development fund loan.  the Board of Deacons are working on several projects in 2024:

• Introduced Church quarterly finance updates
• Implementing Elvanto system to effectively manage membership information, newcomers, Children Sunday School administration, and serving rosters

The Board of Deacons is thankful that Deacons worked extra step.  The Deacons also thanked for your prayers and ongoing support, especially when our Church is growing, we really need God’s grace to make all the beautiful things happen.
