Bukit Panjang Methodist Church (BPMC) was first established in 1937 as a predominantly Hokkien congregation reaching out to the community in the Bukit Panjang area / under the Chinese Annual Conference (CAC) within The Methodist Church in Singapore (MCS).

Through the years, God has enlarged His tent as shown by the growing Hokkien, Mandarin, English, and Youth congregations. Our church building stands on a small hill, overlooking the neighbouring residential area and adjacent to Trinity Theological College. We are now a multi-ethnic and multi-generation church worshipping at the adjacent locations of 488 and 496 Upper Bukit Timah Road.

BPMC’s mission is “Becoming deeply devoted intentional Disciples of Jesus, finishing the Great Commission in our lifetime. (Matthew 28:18-20)”.

Before Holy Covenant MC was instituted as a local conference, it was a preaching point of Telok Ayer Methodist Church. The church premises at Wishart Road was built with the vision to evangelise and meet the needs of the residents as well as the members of Telok Ayer CMC who live in the Telok Blangah area. It was inaugurated by Bishop Hobart B Amstutz on 29th December 1963. Shortly thereafter, Hokkien service was started. The Mandarin services began in the 1980s.

Holy Covenant was officially instituted as a local conference on 1st January 1997 and the name Holy Covenant was chosen as a remembrance of God’s Covenant of Grace. The vision of Holy Covenant MC is to be a disciple church. Our goal is to lead people into a covenantal relationship with God, to worship and praise Him, to fellowship, to watch over one another and grow in love, to build and equip the disciples in the Word, and to serve in His power.
