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”.
shaped to serve
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! Take the S.H.A.P.E. Test and discover how you can be a joyful steward whom God can use for His Kingdom purposes — in church, in the community or around the world!
Some ministries currently have a greater need for volunteers than others. Tap the "I Want to Serve!" button below to explore areas where support is especially needed and to indicate where you're interested to serve.

community outreach
Woodlands Social Centre (WSC) was founded by Woodlands Evangelical Free Church to fulfil our mission of reaching Woodlands for Christ. Through WSC, we seek to provide community services that help individuals and families in Woodlands make positive changes in their lives and relationships.
These are some of our key ongoing programmes:
Connect@806 - Through our partnership with The Food Bank Singapore (FBSG), we conduct food distribution on a regular basis for the residents of Block 806. Our volunteers befriend the block residents and organise activities based on their needs and preferences.
T.H.R.I.V.E. - This programme aims to foster personal growth in children, through holistically nurturing their academic and social skills, and emotional well-being. Run onsite at our activity centre, volunteer tutors provide guidance for Primary school going students in English or Mathematics.
Satellite Visit Centre - In line with our commitment to supporting and bringing families together, WSC offers tele-visit services to families residing in the northern region of Singapore. This allows these families to stay connected with their incarcerated loved ones through scheduled virtual visits. All tele-conferencing bookings are managed and confirmed by the Singapore Prison Service.
As a volunteer, you can make a tangible difference in the lives of many 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.

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 email the Missions Pastor at missionspastor@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.
Read our newsletter to get the latest updates from our WEFC missionaries and partner missionaries. We hope this encourages you to pray faithfully for our brothers and sisters in the field and gives you a greater awareness of the realities and challenges of cross-cultural missions. May the Lord also engage more of us to be both senders and goers in the field!
