Rev. Dr. Amy Yu, currently is in charge of the Next Generation ministry at Scarborough Chinese Baptist Church. With 30 years of leadership and educational experience in trilingual churches and Christian schools, she is dedicated to fostering intergenerational faith formation and discipleship. She holds a Master of Divinity in Youth and Family Ministry from Tyndale Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry from Trinity Western Seminary, where her research focused on intergenerational ministry and spiritual formation. In addition to her pastoral role, Dr. Yu is an adjunct professor at Alliance Bible Seminary, where she teaches “Intergenerational Ministry.” She is also a sought-after speaker and trainer, regularly invited to churches and organizations to speak on topics such as intergenerational ministry, spiritual growth, and parenting the new generation.
In 2024, she, with her team, founded InterGenerate Toronto – now Generations as One and serves as its Chair, working to build a collaborative platform that advances intergenerational ministry across church communities.
She is also a contributing co-author of Imagining All Generations: A Renewed Vision for an Intergenerational Church, edited by Wilson McCoy. Outside of ministry, Amy enjoys interior design and the performing arts, and treasures traveling with her husband and children.
Pastor Karen Leung has been a member of the Next Generation Ministry team at Scarborough Chinese Baptist Church in Toronto, Canada, since 2022. She joined the team after completing her Master of Divinity degree in 2021 at Tyndale University, with a major in Pastoral Ministry: New Generation and Multicultural Church, and a minor in Global Mission and Intercultural Studies. Before Karen came to the full-time pastoral role at SCBC, she had been working in an international insurance brokerage for more than a decade.
Karen was born and raised in Hong Kong and immigrated to Canada with her parents and younger sister in her teenage years, and she committed her life to Jesus in her high school years. Since then, Karen has undertaken her role as a lay church leader in both local churches and the oversea churches through short-term missions. Throughout her service, she has worked with various age groups (children, youth, adults) and language groups (English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish). Some of these groups may have operated in a segregated manner and worked separately. However, despite all the differences, Karen keeps noticing the beauty, potential, and opportunities by collaborating among these groups together to extend God’s kingdom and build each other up in the body of Christ of all ages – intergenerationally. Over the past two decades, she has actively taken part in worship, discipleship, spiritual formation, teaching, missions, and church leadership. Karen finds great pleasure in pursuing hiking and connecting with the natural environment during her free time. She also loves having her brewed coffee each morning to begin her day.
Rev. Karen Tam served as the children’s pastor of Richmond Hill Christian Community Church in 2013-2025. After 12 years of local church ministry, she discovered a new vision: to minister to Chinese communities scattered around the world. By God’s grace and guidance, her husband shared her passion and has taken an early retirement in 2025 to join her in global missions. Rev. Karen and her husband will start her missionary ministry at the end of 2025 in Latin America.
Rev. Karen holds a Master of Divinity from Tyndale Seminary in Youth & Family Studies. She has a passion to share God’s love to all ages, especially to parents in discipling the next generation in a family setting.
Rev. Tanya Yuen has served as Children and Family Ministries Associate with Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec since 2012. In this role, she oversees training and resourcing initiatives for churches, helping them recognize and draw out the giftedness of children and families in their midst.
With over 16 years of pastoral experience in three downtown Toronto churches, Tanya brings a rich blend of hands-on ministry with children, youth, and families, alongside leadership development and organizational expertise. She is deeply passionate about cultivating intergenerational faith communities, believing that every generation has a vital role in God’s mission and that the church is most fully the church when all ages grow and serve together.
Tanya holds a Bachelor of Religious Education and a Master of Theological Studies from Tyndale University & Seminary and is a graduate of the Arrow Leadership Program. She is currently pursuing a Doctor of Practical Theology at McMaster Divinity College, where her research explores children’s spiritual formation within an intergenerational context. Tanya also serves as Global Mentor for the Baptist World Alliance Horizons Children’s Ministry Course, a worldwide online training program.
