1. We believe that the Holy Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God, the complete revelation of His will for the Salvation of man and the Divine and final authority for Christians’ faith and life.

2. We believe in the One, True and Living God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

3. We believe in God the Son, Jesus Christ, true God and true man, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the Cross and shed His blood as atonement for the sins of man and was raised bodily from the dead. He ascended into Heaven. He will return imminently and personally according to His promise.

4. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Godhead, who is of one substance, equal in power and co-existent with the Father and the Son. His ministry is to convict man, regenerate the believing sinners and to indwell and empower the believers for godly living and service.

5. We believe that man is created in the image and the likeness of God, but in Adam, all men have fallen into sin and as sinners men are in need of God’s Salvation.

6. We believe that penitent sinners are regenerated solely by God’s grace and justified through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

7. We believe that there shall be a bodily resurrection of the just to eternal life and of the unjust to eternal punishment.

8. We believe that the Church is one body, consisting of those regenerated by the Spirit of God and of which Christ is the Head, expressing itself in worship, fellowship, evangelism, discipleship, and service.

In the 1950s, there was an influx of immigrants to Singapore from Hong Kong and Guangdong province in China. Grace (S.C.C.) Church was founded by the late Reverend Ho Yew Kin on 24th January 1950 assuming the former name Grace Overseas Chinese Christian Church. The initial vision for the church was to reach out primarily to the Cantonese-speaking community in Singapore.

On 14th May 1955, Reverend Ho Yew Kin was officially appointed as the head pastor of the church. The church then, with only 50 members, held its services at a temporary rented location, the worship hall of Chinese YMCA off Selegie Road.

The main language used at that time was Cantonese. Subsequently, many felt that continuing to worship on rented premises would encumber church development. It was only until the 1970s, that the church raised enough funds through its members to buy a plot of land at the current No. 14 Queen Street site. Demolition and construction works were carried out at the site, and finally, on 22nd August 1971, the new church building was officially open for permanent use.

On the same year, Reverend Jacob Fung became the 2nd senior pastor, and in 1983, Reverend Chan Fong was appointed as the 3rd senior pastor. Rev Chan Fong stepped down from the Senior Pastor position in 2010 and entered into the mission field, teaching missions and pastoring ministries at Singapore Bible College. In May 2010, Rev Chua Yeow San was appointed as the 4th Senior Pastor.

The English Congregation (EC) and Mandarin Congregation (MC) were eventually formed in 1980 and 1985 respectively to cater to the diverse needs of its members as English and Mandarin were widely spoken among the descendants of the older immigrants who came from Hong Kong and China.

We are thankful for the grace of the Lord that the church has grown to its current state. Now we have 14 pastoral and ministry staff and 8 admin staff to serve in the church, with worship services in Mandarin, English and Cantonese (both Sunday & Saturday), as well as mission ministry. In 2024, there are 1,399 members.
