Rev. Dennis Law
Consultant Minister & Founding Pastor

Rev. Dr. Dennis Law, born in Canton, China and raised in Brunei and Hong Kong, was called to be a pastor while he was studying theology. Dennis pastored several churches Hong Kong and Sydney including Chinese Presbyterian Church. He was also called to establish this church. His vision is to build a “Spiritual Family” for all Chinese Christians of all ages, with the hope that all may find it a warm spiritual home. The second part of his vision is to set up the church as a “Training Base for Evangelism and Missions” so that members may be equipped to obey the Great Commission by making disciples for Christ. Raised in a pastor’s family and married to a pastor’s daughter, Dorcas, Dennis has three grown up daughters who are deeply involved in Christian ministries.

Rev. Andrew Tung
Chinese Pastor

Andrew was born in Malaysia. As a young child he moved with my parents to Hong Kong. At age 14, his family made another move to Sydney, Australia, where he has lived ever since. His family background was not Christian, so he only came to know Christ while studying at Sydney University.
In 2007, he responded to God’s call and began his theological training at Moore College. He came to serve at GCPC (then located at Burwood) as a student minister and continued as a pastor after graduation. He met my wife at GCPC and they married in 2013. God has given them two sons, Eusebius and Eleos.
In the first few years of his ministry at GCPC, he established the Mandarin ministry, serving migrants from Mainland China. He now focuses on Cantonese ministry to include preaching, Bible teaching and pastoral family groups.
