serve with us

BUILD UP THE BODY OF CHRIST

God’s Word tells us: “For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). Our act of serving is thus our response of love and gratitude to Jesus Christ for saving us from sin and death, not to earn God’s approval by our “sacrifice” or “works”.

Each of us has been uniquely “created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10). He has given us talents, gifts and resources to be used for His glory. We want to help you discover how you can be a joyful steward whom God can use to transform lives — in church, in the community or around the world.

These are the current needs of our various ministries. Do prayerfully consider if God is stirring your heart to step out in faith in any of these areas!

Evangelism

Many of our pre-believing friends have spiritual questions that need real answers, anchored in the truth of God’s Word. Our Christianity Explored (CEx), Discipleship Explored (DEx) and Chinese Alpha programs allow them that safe space to find out more, and discover what it means to believe in Jesus. Join us as faciliators and befrienders in our next run of these outreach programs! To find out more, contact Erny at outreach@wefc.org.sg.

Children

Children are a precious part of our church family, and we are committed to nurturing them to become lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ. If you enjoy interacting with children, have a passion to nurture them in their faith, and have been regularly worshipping in WEFC and attending LCG for at least 6 months, join us to make an impact in the lives of our children as a Sunday School teacher or helper! To find out more about the Children’s Ministry, contact Pastor Vernon at children@wefc.org.sg.

Hospitality

We joyfully welcome people into our church family, whether they are new visitors or long-time worshippers! Join us as ushers, befrienders or serve in our refreshments team, to extend hospitality to all churchgoers and support the smooth running of our Sunday services. To find out more about the Hospitality Ministry, contact Annie at ushers@wefc.org.sg.

Prayer

We believe our prayerful lives glorify God, draw us closer to Him and lead to greater fruitfulness in life and ministry. While prayer is a foundational part of every disciple's life, we recognise that God puts a special burden in some of us to advance His kingdom through fervent and committed intercessory prayer. If that is you, we welcome you to join our prayer team and stand in the gap with us. To find out more about the Prayer Ministry, contact Elly at prayer@wefc.org.sg.

Worship & Tech

The Worship Ministry seeks to lead worshippers into authentic and meaningful worship to encounter God and glorify Him. Join our worship bands as a vocalist or musician. (Musical proficiency and willingness to grow in one’s craft are important pre-requisites for these roles.) We also need our tech team, which includes sound engineers, camera crew and visual tech crew. (Training will be provided for the tech crew.) To find out more about Worship & Tech, click on the link below.

Media & Comms

We believe that the creative and relevant use of media can play a pivotal role in communicating and connecting with others, reaching and transforming lives for Christ. Come join us as a content creator, graphic designer or translator! To find out more about Media & Comms, contact Dorothea at mediacomms@wefc.org.sg.

community outreach

Woodlands Social Centre

Woodlands Social Centre (WSC) was founded by Woodlands Evangelical Free Church to bless families in Woodlands by providing community services that help individuals and families make positive changes in their lives and relationships.

As a volunteer, you can make a tangible difference in the lives of these families, either on an ad-hoc/project basis or as a regular part of our preschool and primary programs. You can also partner with WSC in blessing families and transforming communities with your giving. Find out more about how you can partner with us as a volunteer or financial supporter here!

Little Olive Tree Preschool

Little Olive Tree Preschool, which offers both child and infant care, is a partnership between Presbyterian Preschool Services, Woodlands EFC and Truth Baptist Church, in line with our mission to serve and transform our community.

Our team of volunteers (Friends of Little Olive Tree), conduct a weekly Worship & Bible story time for the children. There is also a weekly Mums-in-Prayer fellowship group open to both LOT and WEFC mums, where we spend time praying for our children and supporting each other in our parenting journeys.

Adult English Class

Adult English Class (AEC) is a great way for us to engage members of the community who wish to learn English, such as our guest workers living in Singapore. We conduct English classes for these non-English speaking learners (most are Mandarin-speaking) and befriend them to build bridges with them.

Volunteers should be proficient in English and be able to converse fluently in Mandarin. We have two terms each year, in March and September, and each term runs for 10 Saturdays.

world missions

God calls his whole Church to make disciples of all nations of the world. Jesus will come again after the gospel is preached to all people groups, and people from every tribe will worship Him on that glorious day. Come and be part of God’s mission to make His love known through Jesus!

I WANT TO GO!

Serve as a missionary

If God has given you a burden to serve Him as a short- or long-term missionary, we want to support you in answering that call. Our short-term missionary terms are up to a year, while long-term missionaries serve for four years and above. If you sense that God is leading you towards mission work, do contact Pastor Jimmy at jimmy.won@wefc.org.sg.

ONE LIFE ONE YEAR (OLOY)

If God is growing your heart for His work among unreached peoples, serve on the mission field as a short-term missionary. You have one life on this earth to live for Jesus — would you give one year of your life to reach the lost in cross-cultural missions? Go and make disciples of all nations, minister alongside experienced missionaries, and begin living and learning another language and culture.

MISSIONAL BUSINESS / TENTMAKER

Business professionals and tentmakers are missions-motivated Christians who support themselves in secular work as they engage in cross-cultural evangelism and partner with local Christians in the country where they are working. Missional business is a viable avenue to fulfil the Great Commission in places that prohibit traditional missionary platforms and restrict non-governmental organisations.
