About Us

Jurong Tamil Methodist Church had its humble beginnings in 1975. It was one of the daughter churches of Tamil Methodist Church (Short Street) prioritized for ministry in the Jurong residential area. Under the devoted supervision and care of Mr. and Mrs. JCD Pandian, weekly worship services and prayer meetings took place at their residence.

                   Following a span of 2 years, The Church was formally constituted in 1977 to serve as God’s beacon of light in the western region of Singapore with 35 members. Mr. JCD Pandian was appointed as its Supply Pastor. Through the Church’s outreach ministry, many accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. They were baptized and added to the membership of the church. In 1979, the Church expanded to include 53 members. 

                   In 1981 the church was served by a full time Pastor Rev. D. Premkumar. By then the membership had increased to 72. Methodist Men, WSCS (Women’s Society of Christian Service), MYF(Methodist Youth Fellowship) and Sunday School functioned very actively. At this time, Mr. Philip Abraham, who was active with the youth group, dedicated himself to full time ministry. After completing his studies at TTC (Trinity Theological College), Rev. Philip Abraham is now an ordained Pastor serving several ETAC Churches. He is a blessing to Jurong Tamil Methodist Church which produced a full-time Pastor.
