An Unforgettable Journey with God’s People
by Inban Caldwell In Celebration of MPCC’s 50th Anniversary Inban Caldwell with his wife, Roxanne In June 1989, I was appointed to oversee Marine Parade Christian Centre (MPCC). Just two months earlier, in April 1989, the pastor of MPCC had left in response to a missionary call to Canada. Then in May 1989, a group of 147 youths departed. Within four months of my appointment, in October 1989, another 103 members left. I was later told that these departures were the fulfilment

MPCC in My Journey of Faith
by Dr Ang Hui Kheng In Celebration of MPCC’s 50th Anniversary Dr Ang (front-right) in a recent photo taken on 10th February 2026 at the Pioneers’ Reunion. I began attending MPCC in 1978, the year I turned 21—the year my mother finally allowed me to choose my own religious faith. I had become a Christian at 14 through Youth for Christ meetings after school. However, from age 14 to 21, I was permitted to attend church only once, when my Secondary School Mathematics teacher in

22 Feb 2026
I trust that you have been enjoying the CNY break and spending good time with your family and relatives. We have begun a process of planning for the future. As mentioned earlier, during this 50th Anniversary year, we want to pray and discern the direction and growth of MPCC for the next ten years. We are aware that, given the nature of church ministry, future planning and projections are always complex. It will not be an easy task. This is an exercise where the journey is jus

Looking back with thanksgiving
We had a wonderful Pioneers’ Reunion on 10th February . Here is an excerpt of a piece of history which was shared at this gathering:On a warm Sunday afternoon in February 1976, a small group of Anglicans gathered for worship in a new HDB flat at Block 13, Marine Terrace . Ho Cheow Seng and his wife, Irene, graciously opened their home to host the service. That simple gathering marked the birth of what would become Marine Parade Christian Centre or MPCC . The 1970s were a pe

A Blast from the Past
We are expecting over a hundred participants at this Tuesday’s Pioneers Dinner Event. Roughly a third are currently worshipping at MPCC. Gark Teck has brought his roaster to church, and we will be roasting chicken and char siew the traditional way. I thought it would be fun to cook food from the 70s or 80s—and I suppose these roast meats qualify nicely. We can also expect a faith-inspiring programme in the Sanctuary: worship, testimonies, sharing, and prayer. As with all reun

Lead me to the Rock
“Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”— Psalms 61:2 This line from the Psalm spoke to me at a critical moment in my ministry, when I was in my forties. I was younger then—full of energy, ideas, and optimism. The parish I was pastoring felt alive with possibility. I was also deeply involved in the early, exciting work of Alpha, which was beginning to make a real impact in Singapore and the surrounding region. I felt, perhaps without realising it, that I was at the centre

Stability and the Past
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses…” Heb 12:1 I trust that many of you have been following the Praydos weekday devotions and have been blessed by them. Do feel free to go back to relisten or reread any devotion that has been meaningful to you, or to catch up on days you may have missed. These devotions may also be helpful resources for sharing in smaller group settings. There are some who already use other devotional materials for their daily

In and Around
We are barely into a new year and adjusting to one new Service at 10 am. As new habits are still being formed, it is good to renew again our approach to our Sunday Services and the many ministry opportunities it brings. Do note that our “café” is open by 9 am and there are light breakfast options if you want to come earlier or inviting a friend to the Service. Do also note the shuttle bus Services timings as it can facilitate guest visitors. Post Service brunch refreshments c
