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.

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!

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

On 1 November, the Women’s Ministry held their Women of Grace event. Usually held once to twice a year, the Women of Grace event aims to bring together women of GBC for a time of equipping and mutual encouragement. 

This year, the theme was “Side by Side” and we invited a guest speaker, Elizabeth Baruah, to speak to the ladies.

We recently held a Men’s Seminar and one of Liew Jun Tung shares some takeaways with us.

We have previously shared why we hold the Weekender, as well as some of what the participants learnt on the first day of the event. In this article, we will share some thanksgivings as we reflect on the weekend that was spent together. 

The Preacher in Ecclesiastes 12 had a word for those who were younger, that they ought to remember and respond to the Creator in the days of their youth. We also reached out to some older saints in our church to hear from them what they would like to tell younger men and women.

As we commemorate 66 years since GBC was established, let us learn more about the life of Lora Clement. Lora was one of the missionaries whose ministry eventually borne fruit and led to the founding of GBC.

At GBC, we love to pray for fruit. So what fruit do we see coming out of GBC’s church camp in 2025? Here is fivefold fruit.

We are days away from the much-anticipated GBC church camp 2025. But what if we are unable to be at camp this year? In this article we propose some suggestions for how campers can prepare, and how non-campers can also participate in this important occasion in the life of the church.

Our Camp Committee has been hard at work since last year planning, preparing and sorting out all the details. We interviewed some of them — Hui Li, Nathaniel, Chester, Christina and Mercia. They shared their experience and how they have seen God at work, and how we can be praying for the camp.

Prepare for camp by learning and meditating on the songs that will be sung for worship. We have compiled a Spotify and Youtube playlist.
