Further Notes to ECM

Session is strongly recommending for Rev Dr Clive Chin to be given an extension for another four years. Rev Clive has served ORPC very well in the past 9 years and is seeing us through the journey of the disciple-making church (DMC). We would like Rev Clive to continue to lead during this transition period of DMC, A&A project and pastoral leadership renewal. Rev Dr Clive Chin had originally indicated to Session that he desires to step down as SM at the completion of his current contract on 11 January 2027. However, upon Session’s invitation, he has agreed to a yearly contract renewal basis, as we search for a new Senior Minister as part of our leadership succession plans.
