New Creation Church is a non-denominational megachurch in Singapore. In raising funds for its new luxurious premises, it was reported to have raised SGD19 million within 24 hours[1]

Global outreach

According to the church's website, it has been involved in missions throughout the Asian region, and has sent pastors and leaders to countries such as China, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia.[2] The church's services are also broadcast weekly in Uganda[3] and on weekdays in the United States (via the Daystar Television Network),[4] and twice a week on the Australian Christian Channel.[5]

Every year, the church organises trips to Israel through their own tour agency.[6]

Music

The church has produced and released several English-language praise and worship albums to date,[7] including:

  • You Gave (2005)
  • You Alone I Praise (2006)
  • I See Grace (2007)
  • A Touch Of His Presence
  • Still Waters
  • Unleashed : Gospel Revolution (2008) (First Youth Studio Album)

In May 2007, the church produced its first Hokkien and Mandarin worship album - 称義 (Justified), a double-CD album containing 10 Hokkien and nine Mandarin tracks.[7]

Senior pastor Joseph Prince

Senior Pastor Joseph Prince, born in 1963, is one of the founding members of New Creation Church. [8] He has a publishing house, and releases books and CDs, which are sold at the affiliated Rock Gifts & Books Centre and at secular bookshops such as the Times bookshop in Singapore.[9] His latest book, Destined to Reign: The Secret to Effortless Success, Wholeness and Victorious Living, released on 15 July 2007, contains teachings from his last ten years of preaching the gospel of grace.[10]

In 2006, Prince was invited to speak at the Grace & Favour Seminar, at Hillsong Church[11] in Sydney and also to Hillsong London[12] to preach at its three Sunday services. He has also been invited to preach at churches in countries such as Canada, Norway, Netherlands, South Africa and Indonesia.[3]

In 2009, he was reported in The Straits Times to be earning in excess of SGD500,000 a year."Church Leader gets $500K". {{cite web}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |1= (help) Coincidentally then, he was also the Church's chief executive and served as chairman to the Church's six member board, to the contrary of the provisions within the Code of Governance drafted by the Charity Council of Singapore which requires the separation of these two positions, to which the Church objected to. The Church's argument was Joseph Prince is ‘ordained by God to lead the church (so) he is the best person to guide the board’ as well.
