WHO WE ARE
Stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.”
Philippians 1:27b
An assembly of Christians who come from diverse backgrounds in our cosmopolitan country of Singapore. In spite of these differences, we seek to achieve unity in diversity grounded in the truths of Scripture. God has brought every unique individual into this body with specific gifts that can be used to complement one another. We seek unity and not uniformity.
Our Story
Grace Baptist Ministries (GBM) is founded from a merger of two church bodies. The first group, Open Bible Baptist Church (OBBC), was founded on 25 Mar 1994 under the pastoral leadership of Pastor Pat Delaney. From its humble beginnings in the home of Pastor Pat with just 2 others in 1989, the Lord brought 10 others by the time of its founding. The church continued to grow through the years. Pastor Pat has since moved on to become the Field Administrator of Baptist World Mission.
While OBBC was looking for a senior pastor to lead their congregation, a larger group of believers from Baptist Fellowship Church (BFC) were seeking further opportunities to expand their ministry. After a series of discussions in Jul 2010, both groups concluded that a merging of congregations would be mutually beneficial. It was the start of a new beginning for both groups. As of 1 Dec 2010, the new body was officially known as Grace Baptist Ministries.
We, as a new body of believers started worshipping and ministering together on 1 Aug 2010 at City College Singapore. A year later, we purchased a unit at Macpherson, renovated it and moved in toward the end of Nov 2011. This marked a new beginning to embark on our mission to fulfil the Great Commission in Singapore, South East Asia and the rest of the world.
