[Introduction message by Abp Dr Titus Chung, VP NCCS]
NCCS Exco Fellowship with Christian Leaders. Bishop Philip Lim and Exco members hosted an informal lunch fellowship with leaders of churches and Christian organisations on 28 October. Held twice a year, this small gathering aims to strengthen the unity and partnership with both members and non-members of NCCS. Over the years, the Council’s leadership have reached out to these leaders to learn more about the good work done by the Christian community. On this particular occasion, our six guests shared about their ministries and were blessed themselves as they heard the inspiring work of others in the group. PHOTO

NCCS Official Statement. The General Committee issued the 27 October 2025 statement to clarify its position in response to recent open letters and criticisms of the NCCS via emails, website postings and YouTube videos. After the official statement was shared with churches, the Council was contacted by the Assemblies of God Singapore on 30 October regarding paragraph 5 of the statement.
The Assemblies of God Singapore provided official clarification on the ordination credentials of a former AOG pastor and requested NCCS to amend paragraph 5 of its official statement. Therefore, in the interest of accuracy and transparency, the Council has amended paragraph 5 accordingly, based on the information from the Assemblies of God Singapore. See paragraph 5 of the Amended Official Statement
