where is this 46-year old church?


i have been to this church twice; once to attend a friend's wedding and the other time, also to attend a wedding of my former colleague from monk's hill secondary school.

if you know the church, you should also be able to identify this unique building because they are related. this building is just across the road from the church. at the moment, it is undergoing some reconstruction and extension.

Questions:

1 what is the name of this church?

life bible presbyterian church

2 where is its location?

gilstead road

3 what is the building, across the road, with a tower called?

beulah house

4 what will be the purpose of this building?

bible study centre

I cheated and found out the answer. Luckily yj never photoshopped away the signboard in the second photo, haha.

Eh, architecture wise, why so similar to Cathedral? And this church is not even Catholic.

It's Life BP church at Gilstead Road.

Icemoon, you never cease to amaze me - the signboard is so pixelated, how on earth did you manage to read the words on it?

Icemoon said...

It is another of those NAS tricks that I shared with you. The wonders of IT :P

But, but, still helpless against your photoshop manipulation. =(

I can see the following information on the board:

LIFE BIBLE-PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
APEX GROUP
BG KOH & PARTNERS
LAG ENGINEERS & ASSOCIATES
GROUP SURVEY
THAM BUILDING CONSTRUCTION PTE LTD
15TH OCTOBER 2008

Probably a few spelling mistakes, but the Life BP church is very clear.

isn't the name of the building and its purpose written on the board? the name of the building comes from a popular gospel hymn.

Icemoon said...

Give us a clue leh. At least I can flip the hymnal.

I know this church is building a hostel or something called Beulah House.

The Far Eastern Bible College is also located across the road from this church.

Actually I come, well at least stop by this place very often. Our church supports an Indonesian missionary who is studying (and staying) at the bible centre here. Occasionally he joins us for our weekly prayer meetings and so after that I would fetch him back because if he were to travel by public transport it would take more than an hour; my church being in Jurong. By the time we reach this place, it's usually around 10 pm, so I cannot see much.
