Abbreviated as “Logos” or “LCC”

Who are we?

“Logos” is an independent church established by an American mission organisation (CNEC; now PI-Partners International) between 1969 and 1970.

We worship the Triune God and are rooted in the teachings of the Bible. We inherit the doctrine and worship tradition of the holy catholic church, while also aligning with reformation and evangelical theology to express our faith in a contemporary context.

“Logos” is an urban church that is committed to holistic discipleship training, convergence worship and evangelizing people both near and far.

What do we do?

“Logos” is a church made up mainly of Singaporeans but also includes immigrants from various places of the world: East and West Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Myanmar, Holland, Australia, New Zealand and other regions.

We offer Chinese and Hokkien worship services for adults and Chinese and English services for students. 

“Logos” shepherds and nurtures groups of all ages to fulfill the Great Commission and to practice the Great Commandment through their respective characteristics of the age!

We invite disciples who are committed to listening to Christ, denying themselves, and loving God and their neighbours wholeheartedly to join us in our labour:

• To establish a ministry that glorifies God and strives for excellence in all things out of reverence for Him.
• To preach and practice the gospel, driven by love for our neighbours with full wisdom and creativity to spread the good news and pastor the church.

We invite all guests to join us in experiencing a life of faith, hope, and love together.

The first stage (1969-1989)
The starting point: Founding and Adventuring

In 1969, the Logos Christian Church (formerly known as the CNEC Toa Payoh Bible Church) was established by CNEC in a two-story shophouse at Tower 63, Kim Keat Road, East Toa Payoh.

From 1970 to 1984, the church engaged in active evangelism to the nearby residents. It opened a kindergarten to reach out to children and established Chinese and Hokkien worship services for adult believers (with simultaneous interpretation of Chinese preaching in Hokkien). The church also reached out to young students and started a fellowship ministry for Chinese-speaking youths.

In the 1980s, the Youth Fellowship Ministry began distributing gospel leaflets door-to-door to the nearby HDB houses, conducting personal evangelism, initiating youth Bible studies, organizing annual youth retreat camps, printing fellowship publications, setting up cell groups, carrying out discipleship training, producing hymnal poems and songs, founding music evangelism groups (Life Strings), and encouraging and supporting dedicated young people to study in seminaries and serve full-time in the church. The youth ministry thrived, and the number of members continuously increased, with the youth fellowship expanding to two.

By 1984, the church had over 100 people gathering weekly, and the premises could not accommodate this continually growing membership. As a result, the deacon board decided to look for a new meeting place.

In May 1987, the current church premises were purchased, and construction work began.

The second stage (1990-2005)
The extending horizon: Establishing and Developing

On April 28, 1990, with great excitement, our brothers and sisters moved into the new church building at 20 Lorong Ah Soo. On that day, we held a short yet solemn dedication ceremony, and this building bore witness to the grace of God.

From 1990 to 2005, the church established ministries for all age groups and different populations, including senior citizens, adults, young people, children, and grassroots (Bethlehem Worship).

The church extended its important functions by pastoring fellowships and cell groups during this period. In 1993, the young adult ministry was fully organized. The church also established a sister fellowship, worship and church music ministry, which included the formation of a youth choir and children’s choir, reforming Chinese worship, and building worship teams and bands. Additionally, the church launched missionary projects, started the annual mission conference, dispatched short mission teams, participated in Chinese training ministry, planted a sister church in Kluang, West Malaysia, and initiated a Chinese immigration ministry. The church also established community evangelism and equipping ministries, which included Sunday school for adults and children.

During this period, the worship services also changed. The original Chinese and Hokkien worship was changed to Mandarin preaching with Hokkien interpretation. Later, Hokkien worship service and student worship service were implemented.

From 2001 to 2008, the church reached out to Chinese long-term visitors who had stayed for different reasons, such as studying in Singapore, accompanying mothers and professionals, and set up customized Bible study groups and pastoral groups for them.

The third stage (2006-2012)
Growing to wholeness: Building a Holistic Ministry

Since 2006, Logos has aimed to become a church with holistic discipleship training. In addition to the five functions of the church (worship and prayer, evangelism and witnessing, education and equipping, mobilization and ministry, fellowship and pastoring), we also implemented personal discipleship mentoring to achieve comprehensive discipleship training for the fulfilment of the Great Commission.

In 2006, Logos Church implemented a second worship reform by adopting a convergence worship model and incorporating ritual elements into the worship. Starting in April 2008, the church decided to design the worship and sermons according to the church calendar and lectionary.

In 2008, the Chinese fellowship expanded. In 2009, in collaboration with CNEC to implement the concept of a diaspora mission, a ministry targeting recent immigrants from inland China was formally established. The goal was to more actively spread the gospel among this population, care for, pastor, nurture, and equip these Chinese brothers and sisters, help them integrate into the local and church community, and mobilize them to participate in church ministry.

As of 2012, there were about 630 brothers and sisters on our membership list, and the average number of weekly gatherings reached 450.
