11am Service Resumes

The 11am service will resume on 1 February 2026.
Prayer Gathering
Join our monthly prayer gathering as we bring our concerns and needs to God and ask him to lead our church.
Join a Grace Group
Sunday services are wonderful, but there's something special about doing life with a smaller group of people. Grace Groups give you a place to ask questions, share what's really going on, and have others pray for you. You'll find encouragement when things are tough and celebrate together when God answers prayer. These groups will have people who know you, care about you, and walk with you through the ups and downs of life.
Whether you're new to Grace Groups or a returning member, there are groups for all ages meeting throughout the week, making it easy to find one that fits your schedule and needs.
Pop-up Café
Bring some food to share with our church family after our Easter Sunday service.

SMBC Children’s Conference
So how do we minister to children and care for families? How can we help families to keep those important lessons about God and Jesus in kids’ minds long after the craft and activities are done?
Join us as we learn from international expert Ed Drew (Faith in Kids), and a host of other children’s ministry professionals on the topic of how to minister to children, with families in mind.
To register, please speak to Susie Chee.
Ordination Service
Come along to witness and celebrate the ordination of Pastor Edward Ruan. This is an important milestone to affirm his calling and gifts in serving God’s people. Refreshments will be served after the service.
Serve
Every Christian wants to belong to a good church, but good churches don’t just magically come into existence – you have to build them. It requires everyone working together, pitching in with whatever they have to build a good church.
Check out the ministry teams below and consider how you can play a part next year in building a good church.
