Frequently Asked Questions
1. What Church is this?
It is a daughter-church of
St. Andrew’s Cathedral and hence, an Anglican Church
under the Diocese of
Singapore.
2.
What kind of a Church is this?
2.1 It is a New Testament Church committed to fulfilling
the Great Commission and aspiring to portray the Greatest
Commandment.

3. What is the ethos or culture of this Church?
3.1 It will underline the restoration of Biblical
Literacy, that is, knowing and understanding the Bible,
systematically taught, correctly interpreted and
conscientiously applied.
3.2 It will emphasise a return to True Spirituality and
Devotional Disciplines, that is, seriously pursuing
godliness and walking in the Spirit after the ways of God
and His Word.
3.3 It will pursue a renewal of the Church as a Communion of
the Saints or a Community of Believers, that is, that the
Church is the fellowship or a network of relationships of
God’s people in the love of Christ.
3.4 It will focus on a revival of Personal Discipleship and
Fruitfulness, that is, for each Believer to aspire to be
(a) a witness for Jesus Christ by word and by works;
(b) a worshipper after God’s own heart;
(c) a watchful intercessor and prayer warrior;
(d) a worker of God in the power of the Holy Spirit; and
finally.
(e) a Word-centred practical Christian lifestyle in the
Church and in the World.
4. When God does a new thing
4.1 Since the priority is the fulfillment of the Great
Commission, therefore, evangelism and discipleship, which is
teaching, observing (obeying), and initiation (baptism and
Church membership), must be normal, day-to-day, function of
the Church.
4.2 Since the Greatest Commandment and the New Commandment
are hallmarks of the Church, then the love of God for us and
through us must be the character of the Church.
4.3 Since the Church aspires to be like the Church in the
Book of Acts, then the New Testament especially the Book of
Acts must be the manual and blueprint of this Church.
5. What type of Worship Services will it be?
5.1 Whilst we all have our preferred style of worship,
the key is not the style or the form but worship itself. And
worship is God-centred, not man-centred or man-made.
Therefore, variety, relevance, history, traditions, order,
balance, clear focus and spiritual pursuits will be the
character of our Worship Services.
5.2 We will seek out a worship style that is biblical and
Anglican, sensitive to the things of God and sensible in
order and form, contemporary and reflective of the nature of
true worship of God.
5.3 All other elements will have to be according to what is
possible, applicable and appropriate to our situation in a
venue which is not designated as a Church premise.
6. Are there Sunday School classes for children?
We have a Children’s Programme every Sunday except for
every 2nd Sunday of the month which is Family Service. For
Family Service, we encourage the children to worship
together with their parents or adults. Currently, the
Children’s Programme include the following:
Music with Babies / Toddlers (up to 3 years old)
Reading with Pre-Schoolers (4 to 6 years old)
Reading with Juniors (7 to 12 years old)
These are held concurrently with the 10.30am Service.

Yes, we do. Acts Centre started the youth / young adult

young people aim to make an impact for Christ. It meets
every Sunday at 2.00pm for worship, Bible sharing and
discussion.
