We are presently 11 member churches, working together with other observer churches, to devote ourselves to prayer, build bridges and strengthen our churches for the next generations. Though Bible-Presbyterian churches in Singapore have been around for 70 years, we believe our gracious God is giving us the opportunity to start again.
We Bible-Presbyterians have laid low for a while. We did things we are not proud of. Like breaking up when we could not get along. But after 30 years, we are coming together again, learning from past mistakes, recovering what was once our good heritage. “Speaking the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15) is our commitment. God helping us, we seek to be faithful in proclaiming truth and demonstrating love.
There are four recipients of the 2024 Honour Fund. Find out more about who they are and what their stories are.
Our last update for the year is here. Forty presbyters (pastors and elders) and observers attended the sixth APM (Annual Presbytery Meeting). Though BPCIS (Bible-Presbyterian Church in Singapore) was inaugurated in 2011, it was registered with the Singapore Registrar of Societies six years ago, hence our 6th APM.
Madam Tan Juat Bueh, born 10 January 1930, lived a remarkable life. Born in Hainan, China, she married at the age of 19 and moved to Singapore where she raised six sons and four daughters. All her life a devout adherent to ancestor worship, she made a radical decision at the age of 84 to take a different path. Janice Foo, her youngest daughter, tells the story.
What Hope Is There In Jesus Crucified?
Jesus is dead. Seven individuals who had witnessed his life - and death - find themselves grappling with what they had encountered.
Produced in 2021 for Mt Carmel’s online Maundy Thursday service, the monologues draw us into the thoughts and emotions of Judas, Peter, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of Jesus, Pilate, Nicodemus and the Roman centurion in the aftermath of the crucifixion. None of them had any inkling what was to happen on the third day; that out of the depths of despair, what hope would be in Jesus crucified!
