Church Of Our Saviour

OUR VISION

We believe that God is deeply interested in meeting human needs. We believe too, that He uses those who come under His Lordship to meet these needs wherever possible. This He does by energising us with His Spirit.

Under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, we therefore endeavour to establish communities not only in Singapore but also beyond, where people can have opportunities to enter into living encounters with His goodness and compassion. Missionaries in foreign countries are trained to be culturally relevant. Methodologies and praxis of the church are consciously founded on Biblical principles.

Church of Our Saviour is a parish within the Anglican Diocese of Singapore.

OUR BELIEFS

God
We believe that there is only one living and true God. He exists eternally in three persons in perfect unity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit as revealed to us in the Bible.

Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who was sent by God into this world to die on the cross for our sins so that by believing in Him we have eternal life. He is fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life. In the power of the Holy Spirit, He went about preaching, healing and delivering people from the captivity of Sin, Sickness and Satan. He died and He rose from the dead. He has ascended to Heaven and will return again as the Judge of every person who has ever lived.

Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit was sent from God as life and power for those who believe in Jesus Christ. Through the Holy Spirit, we are transformed in our character and empowered in our services so that we may be like Christ.

The Bible
We believe that the Bible is God’s written word. It contains all things necessary for salvation, teaches God's will for His world, and has supreme authority for faith, life and the continuous renewal and reform of the Church.

Salvation
We believe that we are saved from our sins and reconciled to God only through believing and accepting what Jesus Christ has done for us on the cross. It is not by our effort or merit but a gift from God.

The Church
We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ, whose members believe in Jesus Christ and acknowledge His headship. They are joined together by the Holy Spirit who provides His gifts to everyone to contribute to the growth and ministry of the Body of Christ. Therefore all believers have a place and part to play and they do this by committing themselves to a local church for accountability, growth and ministry.

OUR STORY

Church of Our Saviour was started as a mission in the 1950s along Alexandra Road in an area where Indian railway workers were housed. In 1978 the Holy Spirit moved mightily upon our small congregation. From a handful of less than 80 members, we've grown to enjoy a present worship attendance of about 4,500.

We now worship in a renovated ex-cinema in Queenstown.

Since then, new congregations and churches have been planted here and overseas. The strong stand which our church takes towards missions can be seen in our support of missionaries working currently in 12 countries.

In this season, we are pressing in for more of the manifest presence of God - through worship, through openness and obedience to the Holy Spirit for healings, miracles, signs and wonders.

We believe that our faith must be grounded in experiencing God personally.

"My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words,
but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power,
so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom,
but on God's power."

- 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 (NIV) -
