Paya Lebar Chinese Methodist Church was founded in 1939 with the commission to spread the Gospel to the residents in Hougang. Presently, PLCMC is still obeying that call. This is reflected in the vision statement “Build Up, Reach Out”. With our multilingual congregations – Hokkien, Mandarin, Teochew, and English, we have the potential to share Jesus Christ with the new residents who have moved into the Hougang area over the past few years. With God’s help and the Spirit’s empowering, we can fulfil the call of the Great Commission.

In the late 1990s, God’s hand sowed the seeds of ministry that would eventually form Sengkang Methodist Church (SKMC) – as He gave three independent Methodist churches the same vision of beginning ministries in the then-emerging housing estate of Sengkang. Gloria Methodist Church, as it was then known, became like a kernel of wheat which “dies” so that it may “produce many seeds” (John 12:24), as it approved the transfer of all its active members into the new church, alongside members from Hakka Methodist Church and Paya Lebar Chinese Methodist Church. On September 10, 2000, SKMC was constituted as a local conference of the Chinese Annual Conference (CAC).
Yishun Methodist Mission was initiated in 1994 in the northern suburb of Singapore. It is a cell-based church dedicated to turning this community to Christ. The church uses Prayer Evangelism, Servant Evangelism, and Cell Evangelism to reach out. It has a vibrant children and youth ministry which reaches out to the schools in the vicinity.
