Bedok Methodist Church

What Bedok Methodist Church does

Bedok Methodist Church (BMC) is a nonprofit Methodist church headquartered at 86 Bedok Road in eastern Singapore, founded in 1946 as part of The Methodist Church in Singapore (TRAC – Trinity Annual Conference) and celebrating its 80th anniversary (BMC80) in 2026. The church operates Sunday worship services in English (8:30am and 11am) and Mandarin (11am), with dedicated children's and youth services, and live-streams all services globally via YouTube. Its ministry portfolio is organized around a Connect-Equip-Release framework: age-tiered programs include ChangeMakers (children 15 months–11 years), Frontliners (youth 12–19), Young Adults Ministry (20–35), and Glowing Years Ministry (55+); discipleship is delivered through Disciple Groups (CEMR journey), Alpha Course, MasterLife, Precept inductive Bible study, and Baptism & Membership classes; and social concerns span Prison Ministry (Tanah Merah Prison chapel services, Prison Fellowship Singapore after-care), Christian Outreach & Social Concerns (Filos, MWS, NKF, Peacehaven, Chen Su Lan), and a global Missions Program with partnerships across OM, YWAM, MMS, CRU, Compassion Singapore, OMF, Iris, WEC, Wycliffe, TWR Asia, and SIM. Technology assets are modest: the BMC Plus App (built on the OurCodeLab platform) handles member management, ministry enrollment, and Disciple Group registration, while the website (bmc.org.sg) and Telegram/WhatsApp channels support announcements, prayer requests, and newcomer connection. The wholly-owned subsidiary Bedok Methodist Preschool operates as a Christ-centered early childhood program on church premises under the Methodist Preschools network. The church does not generate transactional revenue; all operating funds derive from voluntary tithes and offerings collected via PayNow (UEN: S87CC0532HDBS), DBS Autosave account 022-001598-2, and QR code, with no disclosed financials. Headcount is reported at 19 employees, governance is led by a Local Church Executive Committee (LCEC) under the Pastor-in-charge (Rev Dr Aaron Tay), and pastoral staff include Rev David Gwee, Rev Timothy Yong, and Rev Wendy Tay.
