Development Keystone
“No disciple is superior to the teacher; but when fully trained, every disciple will be like his teacher.” Luke 6:40
About Us
The Development Keystone of the Church of St Anthony is one of several focus groups within the Executive Committee or ExCo. It is setup in response to the need for formation and development of parishioners and all stakeholder groups such as ministries within the Church of St. Anthony.
The Development Keystone coordinates the formation efforts of the parish through understanding the formation needs and challenges of the parishioners and all stakeholders groups. The Keystone discerns programmes that may assist the parish to move in the direction of the parish vision – “A Participative Christ-centered Community of Disciples Building the Kingdom of God”.
The Keystone also identifies and work with parishioners who have a background in Theology or specialised areas of interests and/or are experienced in running formation talks and programmes when developing programmes. All plans are submitted to the Parish Priest and/or the ExCo, to ensure all programmes are in line with the teachings of the Church and the direction of the parish.

- To understand formation needs of all stakeholder groups. The Keystone aims to speak to all stakeholder groups such as PPC, Ministries, Youth, CNCs and Parishioners, to understand their formation needs and craft programmes in order to meet these needs.
- To coordinate with formators to develop suitable formation talks or programmes. The Keystone formed a Community of Formators consisting of parishioners who have experience in running formation programmes, who are trained in a particular field of study, and/or are current or past students of Theology. Together with the Community of Formators, the Keystone crafts formation programmes to cater to the needs of the stakeholder groups and/or programmes that the Keystone discerned to be in line with the Vision of the parish.
- To seek Parish Priest or PPC ExCo approval for the formation talk or program The Keystone will also submit all plans to the Parish Priest, or the PPC ExCo, before execution, to ensure all programmes and content are in line with the teachings of the Church and the direction of the parish.
