OUR STORY
Since 1930, this humble blue house stood and witnessed the passage of time, eventually becoming the heart of Tai Seng Christian Church (TSCC). From our beginnings in Lorong Tai Seng to our current home on 140 Yio Chu Kang Road, our journey has been one of faith and community. Today, the historic building that has served us since 1988 needs urgent restoration due to significant wear and tear.
Project EZRA is launched as our initiative to preserve this cherished landmark, address critical structural issues, and expand our facilities to meet the needs of our growing congregation. This project aims to restore the building’s historical integrity while creating additional space for our community activities. We seek your support to help us continue our mission of faith and service. Join us in ensuring the spirit of the blue house endures for future generations.
