 Grace Methodist Church (GMC) had its humble beginnings in the 1960s as the English congregation of the Telok Ayer Chinese Methodist Church in Telok Ayer Street. It was led by Alfred Yeo Chee Heng who was then a fresh graduate from London Bible College, Great Britian. He was appointed as the Supply Pastor. The congregation grew bigger over the years and on 8 Nov 1970, it was officially constituted as Grace Methodist Church.
Rev Alfred Yeo continued to pastor the church. The church service was held at the Telok Blangah Chinese Methodist Church, adjacent to its present site. Though young and small in number, the church was always at the forefront of missions promotion and weekend mission trips to West Malaysia were a common feature. The church also sent out several missionaries to various countries like Thailand, Pakistan, Brazil, Turkey, Europe, Cambodia and Indonesia.
In 1985 an extensive church building fund was launched and the church started looking for a suitable piece of land to build its own building. GMC then moved to Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) for its services from 1992-1998 during which time it managed to secure the lease for its present site and started its building construction.
5th April 1998 was a very eventful day in its history as that was the day it moved into its brand new church building at Telok Blangah. The new building was dedicated on 7th Nov 1999 and we have been here ever since.
Rev Wilfred Leow is its current Pastor-in-Charge and its membership now stands at more than 700. Some current activities are: one Contemporary Worship service at 9.00 am and one Contemporary-Charismatic service at 11.15 am on Sundays; a Choir; a Tambourine Dance team; Gracestar, a ministry to children; the young adults; junior youth; the youth; Small Group Ministry; Senior Fellowship; Prayer Ministry; WSCS and Visitation every Thursday and Friday
