Seniors Ministry

Pastor Ruth Chan

Pastor Ruth has nearly 40 years of experience in the IT industry, including the last 23 at a global multinational corporation, where she managed IT needs for the Asia Pacific region and oversaw Electronic Resource Planning projects. Actively involved in body life ministry, she has contributed to the Altar/Prayer ministry and Restoring The Foundations (RTF) since 2014. This year, she began serving in the seniors ministry, igniting a newfound passion to help seniors finish well in their journey of faith.

BBTC Seniors ministry reaches to the senior citizens in BBTC and to any Senior who is keen to journey with us to know Christ and mature in Him. Its purpose is to make strong disciples of the Lord Jesus for the purpose of serving God and reaching out to family and friends with the Gospel message.

Our Purpose Statement

“To build a vibrant Seniors’ ministry where everyone is shepherded, mentored, equipped and disciple to serve God and reach their oikos for Christ.”

Our Mission

1. To make the main thing the main thing – Making Disciples (A Disciple Maker).
2. Operation Andrew where everyone is encouraged to pray for and share the Gospel with at least one oikos a year.
3. To go through BBTC’s equipping programme
4. To use our spiritual gifts to serve the Lord.

Our Structure

For spiritual growth, MG Seniors is divided into cell groups under BBTC’s Church-in-action group (CG). It comprises:
1. Men’s CG
2. Ladies’ CG
3. Couples’ CG

Our CGs meet every Sunday between 10.45am – 12.30pm and welcome visitors to find their place in the bodylife of BBTC

Our Programmes

1. Mid-week Fellowship (MWF)
The MWF was launched in early 2004 to cater for retirees and homemakers who have time in their hands. Its programme focuses on the whole person (spirit, soul and body). Activities include singing (Christian songs & Oldies but Goodies songs), a message, line dancing, karaoke, table-tennis, ukulele playing, board games and not forgetting, food. We started with 15 members but numbers have multiplied manifold with people from other churches bringing their oikos. Our have current weekly average attendance of more than 200 seniors.

MWF is held at Hall 1 on Wednesdays from 10am to 12pm, followed with lunch. After lunch, we have a range of activities from 12.45pm to 2.45pm such as line dancing, table-tennis, rummy-o, ukulele & harmonica, bible-study, chit-chat, etc.

Please join us for a time of fellowship and bonding.

2. Outings/Camps
Our adhoc activities include outings and camps for Seniors during June and December school holidays. Every year, we also organize trips to countries in the region to expose our seniors to the different ethnic and religious cultures. The Seniors have visited China, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, etc.
