Faith Methodist Church

What Faith Methodist Church does

Faith Methodist Church is a private nonprofit religious organization headquartered at 400 Commonwealth Drive, Singapore, founded in 1966 as a Methodist chapel for Queenstown residents. It operates as part of the Trinity Annual Conference (TRAC), a network of 21 English-speaking Methodist churches under The Methodist Church in Singapore (MCS). The church has grown from 38 original attendees to a congregation of nearly 3,000 members and runs a comprehensive portfolio of ministries organized by language (English, Mandarin, Filipino, Indonesian) and life stage (children, youth, young adults, seniors).

Its core offerings include weekly worship services across multiple venues and styles — a Traditional Service (8am, Sanctuary), Contemporary Services (9am and 11.15am, Worship Hall), Praise@AC at Anglo-Chinese Junior College, and a Mandarin Service — supplemented by age-specific programmes (SUN JAM children ages 2–12, GEMs special needs, The TackleBox youth 13–18, Young Adults 19–35, Seniors LIFE), Life Groups structured on the F.A.I.T.H. framework, and discipleship pathways (Alpha Course, DISCIPLE Bible Study, KAIROS). Supporting infrastructure includes a 10,000+ item Attic Library, a columbarium (Garden of Eternal Peace), Faith Methodist Preschool, and an online giving and electronic pledging platform, with English and Mandarin services livestreamed on YouTube.

The revenue model is predominantly donation-driven: voluntary tithes and offerings (one-tenth of income) processed via funds transfer, PayNow, or cheque; annual pledges (2026/2027 cycle) with electronic standing-instruction support; and nominal fees for specific courses ($10–$30). Four operating subsidiaries extend the church's footprint into adjacent verticals: FaithActs (community services), Lakeside Family Service, Agape Methodist Church (church plant), and Faith Methodist Preschool. The church supports 8 overseas mission fields across Southeast Asia (Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia) and 7 community outreach zones in the Queenstown area, with approximately 50+ staff including pastoral, administrative, and finance functions.

Regional players
