CERC Foundation Day Celebration
12 Years a Servant: Here’s to Forevermore
ft. Pastor-in-Training Daniel Lu
As a church with a primary concern for Christ-centered, God-glorifying ministry, Christ Evangelical Reformed Church (CERC) reflects this in our commitment to quality word ministry, which flows from the pulpit all the way to our growth groups, various ministries and the individuals being discipled one-on-one. Being a church without compromise for God’s gospel means an active defense of the true gospel of Jesus Christ, and staying faithful to the tenets of historic orthodox Christianity by placing the Bible in its rightful place above any notion of culture and institution, including the church’s.
This Foundation Day, we look to honor and celebrate the ministry of our pastors-in-training and elders, who, as word ministers, humbly derive their authority from Christ’s authority as they work to nurture healthy Christian growth in the people of His church. The life of a word minister is one of full dedication to producing Gospel-committed Christians through creative and sacrificial evangelism by the work of His Spirit, including speaking the truth in love, at every level of word ministry and church operations such that it reflects God’s glorious goals for His kingdom.

As Pastor-in-Training in CERC, Daniel began his ministry training 9 years ago through the Christian Ministers’ Apprenticeship in CERC, previously known as the Ministry Training Strategy program.
Continuing on with 3 years of formal theological education with a Bachelors in Theological Education at Trinity Theological College in Perth, Australia has equipped Daniel with essential skills that will enable him to lead faithfully.
As a leader in Chinese ministry, Daniel’s upbringing, skills, experience and training enables him to lead in a meaningful way towards fulfilling the vision CERC has for the Chinese ministry.

His current work involves teaching biblical theology (“BT”) through the Chinese ministry as well as preaching in campus ministry at various universities. You’ll also find Daniel keeping up with thought leadership of the day through the books he reads.

As campus ministry involves many hours of personal Bible study and discipleship, Daniel’s theological training and experience has enabled him to nurture many young adults and budding ministers for the gospel.


We see that faithful leadership involves concern for both the small and large things – from teaching others how to read the Bible better, to helping them to contextualise God’s work in our world through a historical and biblical theological lens. Daniel’s work in Chinese ministry has also helped to evangelise those who have Chinese as their mother tongue.
[Biblical literacy] is not just for pastors, but for every Bible-believing Christian.


This Foundation Day, we celebrate and thank God for the quality of the preaching in CERC, as we treasure the gospel that has been passed down to us. We are committed to preserving its purity and to fight against heresy and the false gospels of today. We thank God in his sovereignty, and are grateful to men and women who have invested much of their time and resources in their love for this church in a small region of the Klang Valley.
