Providence Reformed Presbyterian Church (PRPC) had its humble beginnings in a home Bible study back in January 1993.  In 1994, with the assistance of the Westminster Presbyterian Church (WPC) of Australia, Thomas Chong was licensed to preach.  The church held its first worship service on July 2, 1995.  In the May of 1996, two elders were ordained into the eldership by the WPC after due examination.  In August 1999, elder Thomas Chong was ordained as pastor by the WPC.

Following the homegoing of Pastor Chong, Christopher Seah became our pastor in 2009. Seah was ordained under the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) in September 2008.

Here at Providence, our mission is as follows:

Having been saved from our sins by the Lord God and transferred into the kingdom of his beloved Son, Providence Reformed Presbyterian Church (PRPC) exists to know our triune God by embracing him in Christ Jesus; and to glorify him by extending Reverent Worship to Him; exemplifying Baptized Community in a multi-religious society, and expanding His Holy House in Singapore, and wherever in the world He may call us.

In order to fulfill our mission, we seek to do the following:

  • Practice God-centered, God-honoring, God-instituted and reverent worship in Spirit and truth
  • Preach and teach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ
  • Nurture and equip Christ-conforming and participative discipleship
  • Practice and encourage a strong communion life with our covenant God
  • Practice, encourage and promote fervent Christian fellowship for edification of saints
  • Develop relationships with people in the community to manifest the baptized community
  • Lovingly serve needy people in our congregation, our community and beyond
  • Promote fellowship among like-minded congregations in Singapore and beyond
  • Extend and practice a unified vision of the whole of life lived under God’s rule on earth.

Being Presbyterian, PRPC practices the Presbyterian form of church government, which is the oversight of congregations by teaching and ruling elders.  However, it is also our conviction that all members have the right and duty to share in the ministry of the church as Paul teaches us in Ephesians 4:12.  Thus, a participative membership is one of our core values.
