Women’s Society of Christian Service (WSCS)

ABOUT WSCS

The Women’s Society of Christian Service (WSCS) is an integral part of The Methodist Church in Singapore. All Methodist women who embrace its purpose and participate in its works are members of the Local WSCS. This also makes them members of the larger Annual Conference and General Conference WSCS.

WSCS’ purpose is four-fold:

1. To help women grow in the knowledge of and experience God as revealed in Jesus Christ
2. To challenge them to respond to God’s redemptive fellowship
3. To make Christ known throughout the world
4. To develop a personal responsibility for the whole task of the church

“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.” – Proverbs 31:26

Upcoming Events

Week of Prayer and Self Denial Meditations

The week of Prayer & Self Denial (WPSD) starts from 14 to 20 Sep 2025. This observance calls WSCS women to spiritual growth, awareness and action. Through it, women are challenged to engage in prayer and to reflect upon stewardship as they respond to the needs in the home, church, community and the world at large to fulfil God’s mission.

PSD Meditations, prayer and giving have been its central focus. WSCS women are encouraged to increase their self-denial through sacrificial acts to bless others.
