Our pastoral and ministry leaders
Welcome to The Essence of Our Hearts. Our leaders are devoted to walking in obedience as a demonstration of God's holiness and remaining faithful when tested in darkness. We are here to ensure you feel warmly welcomed, safe, inspired, and encouraged to surrender your life to Jesus.
Pastoral guidance and church administration
Under the spiritual guidance of Pastor Lalagofaatasimaalii Tupua, our fellowship is nurtured through the living Word, steadfast faith, and genuine Christian care. Working closely alongside our pastor, our Secretary Tiatia Lemalu faithfully looks after church communications and community organisation, ensuring our family in Christ remains supported and connected.
Faithful stewardship and integrity
Our treasury is lovingly cared for by Saofai Victoria Tongatua and Samuela Tongatua. Serving with unwavering integrity and transparency, they steward our ministry's resources in total obedience to the Lord, helping the fellowship grow, provide outreach, and maintain a welcoming home for all who seek Jesus.
