Presbyterian Care Singapore Network (PCS-N)

Committee Members 2023-2025

Objectives

  • To raise the profile of participating Presbyterian churches that are involved in providing services to the community under a unifying networking platform.
  • To share the resources in terms of experience and knowledge among the concerned parties involved in community services/ministries.
  • To establish a relational network with the purpose of promoting goodwill and possible collaboration for collective impact.

PCS-N, in line with its objectives, hopes to serve as a platform for coming together of like-minded Presbyterian Churches in reaching out to the community at large as one united body in Christ.

 

More importantly, the coming together for the mutual benefits of our respective network members is to provide greater impact in the community we serve.
