STORY 05

SCHOOL MINISTRY:

BUILDING BEYOND OUR WALLS

 

When Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem, he was not thinking only about the present. He was rebuilding a community in which future generations could know God and live as His people. More than a century ago, our church shared that same vision.

 

In 1889, GPC’s founder, Preacher Joseph Koh, started what is today Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School. His desire was simple yet far-reaching: to educate children in the Bukit Timah community while nurturing lives grounded in Christian values. What began as service to a rural community has become a partnership that has blessed generations of children.

YOUTH MINISTRY (ASCENT & YOUTH FELLOWSHIP):

BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION OF DISCIPLES

 

When Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem, he was rebuilding not only for his generation, but for those who would come after him. A community becomes strong when one generation faithfully prepares the next.

 

That is the heart of our Youth Ministry.

CRECHE MINISTRY: BUILDING FAITH FROM BIRTH

When Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem, every family mattered. Building God’s community was not only about the strong hands carrying stones, it was about creating a place where God’s people, including the next generation, could belong.

By Rev Dr Forest Koh

 

When Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem, no one person built the whole wall. Each took responsibility for a part, and together their individual contributions became something far greater. Our Worship and Music Ministry gives us a beautiful picture of this.

By Rev Dr Forest Koh

 

As we journey through Nehemiah, we see that God was not only rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls, but He was also rebuilding His people. That same work continues in our church today.

 

Vision 2026: Building His Missional Community invites us to witness how Christ is shaping His body through the faithful service of every ministry.
