Arlene Simatupang was born and raised in Jakarta and attended college in Orange County, CA (a proud OC girl who loves the beach!). After graduating, she returned to Jakarta and worked as a marketing executive in various companies.
She met Pastor Oyan in 2003 when they ministered together as lay leaders in a ministry for young adults. They were married in 2005 and are raising two daughters, Tedra and Katriel, together. After becoming a mom, she retreated from working outside the house for a season. Before co-leading Christ the King, she served in different areas, including children’s ministry, couples counseling, and leading the parent’s advisory group at their daughters’ school. Her family thoroughly enjoys the results of her passion for cooking and baking.
She recently completed her Master of Arts in Theology and Ministry (MATM) through distance education from Fuller Seminary.
