ABOUT US
It is our desire to play a small part in the renewal of the church in Singapore, and in reaching the city and the region effectively with the gospel. It is our conviction that God has called us to plant a confessional, connectional and commissional church that will be a catalyst for church planting and missions. That is why we are planting ‘One Covenant Church’.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to see people converted, communities united, and society enhanced through the gospel.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to be a winsome, humble and credible witness of the gospel to the sceptic, seeker, and saint. We strive to clearly and vividly proclaim the gospel message, engage its implications in all of life, and authenticate its reality through deeds of mercy and justice.
OUR FOCUS
We seek to minister to our culture by focusing on 4 Ministry Fronts birthed out of the gospel:
Worship
The gospel produces worship. We connect people to God through Word and Sacrament; and Prayer and Praise. We will speak in the vernacular, and explain as we go along in order to be accessible to the non-believer and believer alike. We want to see a gathering made up of skeptics, seekers and saints. More than that, we want to build a culture that expects the non-believer to be there.
Community
The gospel also produces community. As people are reconciled to God, they are reconciled to one another. We will be a community of families, and singles on mission for Jesus. We want to have authentic and open relationships where everyone can find Jesus in the difficulties of their lives. We want to keep our communities as open as possible to non-believers.
Vocation
The gospel produces integrity in our vocations as we seek to no longer serve self, but others through the gifts and talents God has given. We endeavour to help each other discover the unique calling that God has given each person in the family, church, workplace, nation etc. This is best discovered in authentic community.
Mercy
In light of God’s mercy, we also become merciful. A merciful heart will be built into our DNA as a church, and we will show mercy by taking care of the oppressed, suffering, sick and poor. We will work with existing organisations bringing mercy and relief to our community.
OUR PASTOR
Tze pastors One Covenant Church. He was ordained as a Teaching Elder by a committee of Presbyterian Teaching Elders who serve as missionaries with Mission to the World (MTW). Tze holds a Master of Divinity (MDiv) from the Presbyterian Theological College, Melbourne, and a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) from Imperial College, London. He is married to Cindy, a paediatrician and they have two daughters, Caitlyn and Carissa.
​
OUR IDENTITY
Confessional: We believe that the Bible is without error and is the supreme authority in the Church. We subscribe to the ancient Christian creeds (the Apostle’s Creed, Nicene Creed, Chalcedon Creed, and Athanasian Creed), and the Westminster Standards (Confession of Faith, Larger and Shorter Catechisms) as subordinate standards that faithfully summarise the Bible’s teaching.
​
Connectional: We hold to, and strive toward a Presbyterian polity whereby we will seek mutual accountability and encouragement from like-minded churches, and seek to be on mission with them.
Commissional: We are an outward-facing church, believing that God has commissioned the church to proclaim the gospel to the nations. Contextualisation, cultural engagement and world missions are important to us.
