Pastoral Staff

Reverend Ivan Leung
Senior Pastor

Pastor Ivan Leung was born in Hong Kong and was trained as a special education teacher at Grantham College of Education before he was called by God to serve in full time ministry. Having graduated at Evangel Seminary in Hong Kong, he furthered his studies at Regent College, Vancouver, B.C., receiving the Master of Christian Studies and Master of Divinity degrees.

In 1999, he completed the Doctor of Ministry degree at Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon. He and his wife Eva have two children, Dorcas and Titus.

Pastor Ivan is the VCAC Senior Pastor of Knight Street, Fraser Lands, and North Burnaby. He is also serving as the Knight Street Site Coordinating Pastor and the Cantonese Congregation Pastor for the 11:00 am service at Knight Street.


Reverend Paul Choy
Associate Pastor (Cantonese Ministry)

Born in Hong Kong, Pastor Paul Choy accepted Christ as his personal saviour in 1969 while attending the Kowloon Tong Church of the C&MA. While still in high school, Paul moved to Vancouver, British Columbia. During this time, he attended Vancouver Chinese Alliance Church, serving here as a youth leader.

By the grace of God, Pastor Paul was called into full-time ministry in 1973. Four years later, he and his wife of six months, Molly, joined the Chinese Christian Mission in California, USA. It was while serving there that God blessed them with two boys.

The Choys eventually moved back to Canada and attended the Prairie Bible Institute (PBI) in Alberta, completing their training in 1988. They were grateful that their home church in Vancouver invited Paul to return to VCAC and pastor the English-speaking congregation, and God enabled him to serve in that ministry for three years.

Ordained in 1992, Pastor Paul is now mainly involved in preaching, teaching, training, and pastoral care for the Cantonese-speaking congregation at Fraser Lands. He is also overseeing the VCAC Missions Department as well as serving as the Fraser Lands Site Coordinating Pastor.
