Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
Remembering our past
Welcome to the Archives and History Library, also known as The Methodist Church Archives, Singapore.
About us
We fulfil the important function of keeping records of The Methodist Church in Singapore (MCS).
At the Archives and History Library, we acquire, process and maintain historical and archival material relevant to the MCS, and welcome interested researchers who wish to understand how Methodist work began, expanded and evolved through the years 1885 to present.
The Archives holds important reference materials which include original documents, microfilms, audio-visual media, and photographs, as well as valuable books. These, together with a growing number of Methodist publications, a collection of John Wesley’s writings, and books on Methodist History on South East Asia, General Church History and Methodist doctrines and theology, will provide researchers with plenty of scope for their work.

FORTY YEARS ON – Memoirs of a Schoolmaster
by Earnest Lau
Read about how significant persons, events and institutions has shaped the author and helped him to live well. In his references to his Christian values and in the way he has told his story, the author has demonstrated the best in an ACSian gentleman and a Christian whose steps are ordered by sovereign God.
This book is a pleasure to read both because of its poignant and reflective contents as well as the wit and command of the English language with which it is delightfully written. This book is highly recommended to ACSians, both young and old.
