Graceworks Private Limited

What Graceworks Private Limited does

Graceworks Private Limited is a Singapore-based, founder-led Christian publishing and ministry organisation incorporated in 2006. The company's core activity is publishing books and delivering training programmes that promote spiritual friendship, mentoring, and discipleship within church communities and among individual Christian readers. Its product portfolio centres on a proprietary content library anchored by the 3-2-1 Spiritual Friendship Model and reinforced by research-grounded frameworks such as 'Growing People Relationally' and The Generations Project, an ethnographic study across 17 churches and 9 denominations in Singapore addressing intergenerational and millennial retention. Soo-Inn Tan, with 40 years of ministry experience, is the primary author and the public face of the company.

The underlying technology stack is a conventional publishing and e-commerce platform: titles are sold as ebooks and paperbacks through the company's own online storefront (with free Singapore shipping over SGD 45), supplemented by publishing services for third-party authors and training delivered through partnerships such as Trinity Theological College's Equip programme. Marketing is driven primarily by a weekly email newsletter (eCommentary), blog commentary, and organic social media on Facebook and Instagram. The company also distributes books internationally across approximately 12 Asian markets.

Revenue mechanics are transactional: unit book sales priced between SGD 5 and SGD 50, plus bespoke publishing services contracts. There is no disclosed subscription or recurring revenue component, no external funding, and no institutional ownership. The business is structured as a private ministry-aligned micro-publisher with 1–10 employees, serving primarily Singapore-based churches, pastors, and Christian readers, with limited international distribution reach.
