We held our the first Members’ Meeting of the year on 11 January 2026. At this meeting, we welcomed new members, heard of updates about some of our members and learnt about other updates in our church life.

Pastor Oliver shares with us about the upcoming Training Day! He explains what it is, why it is good for us to gather, and what we can expect from the sessions.

Paul’s letter to the Ephesians is a remedy for identity amnesia. God is also reconciling redeemed sinners to one another through the gospel. God’s people are one in Christ. We are one church.

At the start of a new year, we may be inspired to make new resolutions or draw up plans for the year. Some of us hope to consistently keep up habits and disciplines. Others of us may be looking to try something new in the year. 

What about for us as a church? What plans do we have this year? 

The Watchnight Service, held in the evening of 31 December, was a time for us to gather as a church family to reflect on the past year. In doing so, we remembered to thank God for His faithfulness and provision, and also commited to following Him in the year ahead.

EQUIP is our equipping and training platform that exists to equip us with God’s truth, that we may grow in our knowledge, love and service to Him. This year, training will take the form of 4 Training Days. Find out more about the first upcoming Training Day on 31 January.

Four families participated in our Family Dedication held during our 28 December service, the last one of 2025!

As we welcome 2026 together, it is also timely to pause and consider God’s enduring love for us as a church in 2025. Here is a short recap of our life together in 2025!

We baptised and welcomed seven new members at our 21 December service. Members of GBC had voted to receive them at the Members’ Meeting on 9 November.

What are we living for? What ambitions and goals direct our lives? Whose plans and purposes do our lives revolve around? Faced with life’s challenges and comforts, it is easy for us to become spiritually complacent. How might our priorities be in need of a reset? 

May the Book of Haggai help us to rightly order our priorities for the new year!

Maureen Koh was one of the helpers at our recent youth camp. It was her first time serving, and also the first time at a youth camp. She shares her experience as a helper, what she learnt from serving and ways the church can continue to trust God to work among our youth.

Our next Members' Meeting will be held on 11 Jan 2026 after service from 11.15am to about 12.30pm on Level 2. Do note the change in venue for this meeting!

For a couple of years now, a group of GBC members have been reaching out to the residents and staff at Gladiolus Place through a monthly dinner. Moreen Tai has been helping out, and shares with us what they have been doing, and how God has been working in the hearts of our members, as well as ways we can support the ministry in prayer.

Over the past few months, we recruited members to help with block visits and organising this Christmas Brunch in December. Dinnie Ee shares with us the different ways that God answered our prayers!

We recently installed new elders and here, we interview both Andrew and Weiquan to get to know them better and how we can continue to be praying for them in their new role.

Our trainees have been reflecting on their experience and this week, we conclude this short series with a reflection by Dinnie Ee.

At our 30 November 2025 service, we installed our new elders.

Ng Han Kiat from Leng Kwang Baptist Church took part in our Traineeship Programme from July to November this year. He gives thanks for the traineeship and reflects on how it has been a sanctifying process for him.

Mary Jin, a student at Singapore Bible College, came alongside us for the 20–24 November English Camp at Kathy’s Home. We hope that Mary’s reflection below will also spur you on to join us for our next trip to Pua taking place from 5–9 February 2026.

Mercia Tan joined our traineeship after graduating from university this past July. It has been a fruitful and encouraging time for her, and she shares some of her takeaways from the past few months.
