Congregational and Elder-led Leadership
Lead Pastor
Rev Abhishikta Satpathy

Shun Re Ching Makan is from the Northeastern part of India. He completed his theological studies from SAIACS, Bengaluru. He is passionate about seeing the world through the Bible’s eyes. He is interested in teaching and engaging with young people.
The church is called to be a display of God’s glory. The local congregation has the final say in matters of discipline and doctrine. However, the congregation is led and fed by elders who oversee our church. These elders fulfill the biblical qualifications of 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. They endeavour to lead and feed the church through example, preaching and teaching, discipling, counseling and casting vision. They are currently 4 Elders.
Deacons/Deaconesses
We currently have eight Deacons/Deaconesses who serve the church in various vital areas of ministry, following the pattern as described in the book of Acts, chapter 6. They are Deacon of Ushering, the Deacon for Building, the Deacon for Finance, the Deacon of P.A. and Sound, the Deacon of hospitality, the Deacon of Publicity and the Deacon of Member Care.
Our staff is dedicated full-time to the work of the ministry of this local church. At the moment the staff team consists of the Lead Pastor and the Assistant Pastor. The Lead Pastor serves with the DBF, South English Congregation and the Assistant Pastor leads the DBF, South Hindi Congregation.
