“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
The Great Commission is one of the key tenets of Brighton Community Church. We believe that God has called us to be a disciple-making church, and missions work has always been at the core of our beliefs. By the grace and guidance of God, we have been faithfully sending mission teams to foreign lands since the first year of our establishment.
Within 4 years of starting Brighton Community Church, we sent out our first missionary and church planter, Aaron Koh, to Chiang Mai. Despite our limited resources and lack of experience, we wanted to be involved in what is closest to God’s heart: cross-cultural missions. In 2006, we planted our first overseas church in Chiang Mai – Brighton Community Church, Chiang Mai.
10 years later, with more resources and experience, our fervour has grown even stronger. In 2015, we sent out our first missionaries to Phnom Penh and we are excited to see how God will continue to use us mightily in the lands beyond Singapore. We want to take a quantum leap in advancing God’s kingdom beyond the shores of Singapore. We want to send out missionaries and plant a church outside Singapore every year.
BEYOND, our yearly missions month, is a time to help Brightonites grow in our understanding of and our participation in God’s redemption plan for the world. We hope many among us will be inspired to be more involved in sharing the gospel beyond Singapore.
