BUDGET LETTER 财政预算函
5 July 2026
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Greetings in the name of the Lord!
As we approach the end of the financial year on 31 July 2026, we are reminded of God’s abundant provisions and blessings. Through your faithful tithes and offerings, we have been able to carry out our Outreach, Missions and other ministry programs, being a family blessed to bless the community and the nations. A report on the impact of your giving on our community outreach & social concerns, discipleship and missions programs is in the annex.
The church leaders have approved our Church budget for the new financial year, 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Our forecast is that we will spend $11.8m. The pie chart below illustrates the breakdown of our planned expenditures.
In line with our church vision of blessing the community and the nations, we dedicate 53% of our annual budget to church ministries, community outreach & social concerns and missions.
Our community outreach & social concerns programs include block blessings in Buangkok, Lorong Lew Lian, Serangoon and Woodleigh; bursaries to PLMGPS, PLMGSS and others; ministry to the elderly, abused, destitute, homeless and migrant workers; Hope Student Care; Sonshine Kids and B12 programs.
We continue to send and support missionaries, missioners and mission partners in Japan, Central Asia and other ASEAN nations. Through partnerships with mission agencies and indigenous ministries, we participate in God’s work of training disciples, planting churches, developing Christian leaders, and serving communities in practical ways.
The remaining 47% of our expenses goes towards sustaining the essential operations of our church. This includes supporting our staff team, fulfilling our commitment to the
Trinity Annual Conference, and maintaining our church buildings and facilities to ensure they remain welcoming spaces for worship, ministry, and community life.
The redevelopment of our church building has progressed to the concept design phase. Our pastors, leaders and ministry heads are working closely with the appointed architects to envision and plan spaces that will support our ministries, expand outreach opportunities, and serve the needs of future generations. The goal is to create a church home that will remain effective, welcoming and sustainable for the next 30 years and beyond. When the design plans are finalised later this year, we will provide further updates on the project and its funding requirements, which are not reflected in the budget presented above.
We will be observing Pledge Sunday on 2 August 2026 where we, as church members, renew our commitment to the Lord by supporting His work at PLMC with our prayers, presence, gifts, service and witness. We ask you to prayerfully consider your pledges for the new church year. Each of our circumstances is unique, and we ask that you respond in faith as the Lord leads.
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7)
As you prayerfully consider your giving, you may to submit your pledge electronically to access the e-Pledge Form.
May our Lord bless you and your family abundantly as you honour Him in your giving!

亲爱的主内弟兄姐妹，
奉主的名向您问安！
随着2026年7月31日财政年度即将结束，我们也被提醒再次数算神丰盛的供应与恩典。因着大家忠心献上的十一奉献和其他奉献，教会得以持续推动社区外展、宣教及各项事工，成了一个蒙福去祝福社区和列国的家庭。在附件中有一份报告，展示大家的奉献如何帮助教会在社区外展与社会服务、门徒培训及宣教事工上取得的果效。
教会领袖已批准新一财政年度（2026 年 8 月 1 日至 2027 年 7 月 31 日）的教会预算。预计来年的总支出为 1,180 万元。下方的圆饼图展示了各项预算支出的分配情况。
为了实现教会「祝福社区和列国」的异象，我们将全年预算的 53% 投入于教会事工、社区外展与社会关怀，以及宣教事工。
我们的社区外展与社会关怀事工包括：在 万国、罗弄榴莲、实龙岗 及 兀里 推动组屋关怀事工；为巴耶礼峇美以美女校（小学）、巴耶礼峇美以美女校（中学）及其他学校提供助学金；服侍老人、受虐人士、贫困人士、无家可归者及客工；以及 盼望托管中心（HOPE Student Care Centre）、阳光儿童（Sonshine Kids） 和 B12 等事工。
我们继续差派并支持在日本、中亚及其他东盟国家服侍的宣教士、宣教同工及宣教伙伴。借着与各宣教机构与原住民事工的合作，我们一同参与神的工作，包括培训门徒、建立教会、培育基督徒领袖，并以实际行动来服侍社区。
剩余 47% 的预算则用于维持教会的日常运作，包括支持同工团队、履行我们对三一年议会的责任，以及维护教会建筑与设施，确保它们持续成为一个适合敬拜、事奉及建立群体生活的温馨空间。
教会重建计划目前已进入概念设计阶段。我们的牧师、领袖及各事工负责人正与指定的建筑师紧密合作，共同规划和设计能够支持教会事工、拓展外展服侍、并满足未来世代需要的空间。我们的目标是建立一个在未来三十年及以后，仍能有效发挥事工功能、热情欢迎众人，并具可持续发展的属灵家园。今年晚些时候，当设计方案确定后，我们将向大家进一步汇报重建计划的最新进展及所需经费；这些费用并未包括在上述预算之内。
我们将于 2026 年 8 月 2 日 举行誓捐主日。届时，我们作为教会的会友，将借着祷告、同行、奉献、服侍和见证，再次向主委身，支持祂在 PLMC 的工作。诚邀大家在祷告中寻求主的带领，慎重考虑教会新一年度的誓捐金额。每个人的处境都不尽相同，愿我们都凭着信心，回应主对我们的引领。
各人要随本心所酌定的，不要作难，不要勉强，因为捐得乐意的人是 神所喜爱的。【哥林多后书9:7】
当您在祷告中寻求主的带领并思考您的奉献时，可在此填写电子誓捐表，提交您的认献。
愿您在奉献中尊荣主的时候，主丰丰富富地赐福您和您的家庭！
