about us
Our History
Under the leadership of Pastor Jerry Ong, Redeemer Baptist Church (RBC) was constituted on 15 April 1990. RBC started with 25 chartered members. It continued to maintain close ties with its mother-church, Sembawang Baptist Church. When the Sembawang Baptist Church building was renovated, RBC had to move to a different location for worship, but then was welcomed back to the renewed Sembawang Baptist Church building.
Over the past years, RBC has been actively involved in mission and supporting missionaries in Central Asia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil and OM Logos ministry.
Local mission includes prison ministry and aftercare prison/ drug rehabilitation ministry.
In 2017, Rev Jerry Ong moved on to serve oversea mission together with his wife, Pastor Rebecca after serving RBC for 26 years.
Since then, the Lord has led Rev Yap Kiat Hock to serve as the senior pastor of RBC.
Pastor Ong was ordained on Easter Sunday, April 3, 1994, when the church celebrated its 4th Anniversary. RBC joined the Convention on March 29, 1994, and Pastor Ong had served as an officer in the Convention.
In 1995 the two churches, Sembawang Baptist Church and RBC, together contributed enough to purchase property at 112 Casuarina Road, under as co-ownership agreement, for Redeemer Baptist Church to use as an office and meeting place.
In April, 2004, the church moved its worship place from 140 Casuarina Road to a private school and had been worshiping there until 2007.
Then, it moved to Jalan Pemimpin for worship. After 2 years later, RBC moved to present location at New Industrial Road in 1 Nov 2009.
RBC believes in Reaching out to Others and Building them up in Christlikeness.
We are a family-oriented, oikos-based church that supports one another to grow as true disciples of Jesus Christ, and to serve the community local and overseas and to exemplify the love and character of Christ.
We welcome you to visit us and join us at our Sunday Service and other fellowship.
