Charis Methodist Church (Charis) began as the Methodist Youth Fellowship of Geylang Chinese Methodist Church. An evening English worship was inaugurated in 1966 by Bishop Lundy and pastored by the late Rev. Fang Ming Teck. In 1989, Charis become an autonomous Church under the Chinese Annual Conference of The Methodist Church in Singapore.

While reaching Cantonese speakers continues to be a mission of Kum Yan Church, our scope has broadened over the years. We have a thriving children’s ministry as well as a vibrant youth ministry. We are conducting Alpha Courses, and other evangelistic events in Cantonese, English and Mandarin.

Geylang Chinese Methodist Church is founded in cosmopolitan Singapore since 1905. People of diverse nationalities converge and interact around us and with us.

GCMC serves a fraction of these nationals. Beside the locals, she welcomes and cares for Malaysians, mainland Chinese, Vietnamese, Thais and Indonesians. GCMC also ministers to students in the Geylang Methodist School (Secondary). The church seeks to be an active partner alongside the school in areas like tuition, student welfare and character building.

GCMC continues to be an involved participant in the position and situations where God has placed her.

The church purchased her first property, a shop-house in Sam Leong Road in 1933. Subsequently, in 1941, she bought the present site at Kitchener Road. In April 1986, the present 4-storey building was completed and was dedicated on 27th Nov 1986.

The church started off with a Hinghwa-speaking congregation. Later on, the Mandarin-speaking, as well as the English-speaking congregations, were added. The church seeks to fulfill her God-given vision of being a lighthouse for Christ and is very actively reaching out to her neighbourhood.

PLCMC

18 Jul: Paya Lebar Chinese Methodist Church

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.
