Our Historical Records

The Emmanuel Tamil Annual Conference (ETAC) carries a rich heritage rooted in the early missionary work of The Methodist Church in Singapore.

 

Our history reflects decades of dedicated service to the Tamil and Telugu Christian communities, shaped by faithful pastors, leaders, and congregations who committed themselves to God’s mission. From humble beginnings in small fellowship groups to the establishment of vibrant churches across the island, ETAC’s journey highlights a legacy of worship, discipleship, and compassionate outreach. Over the years, our churches have grown to serve families, youths, migrant workers, and those in need through various ministries and community initiatives.

 

These historical records preserve significant milestones, leadership transitions, mission developments, and stories of lives transformed by the Gospel. They remind us of God’s continued faithfulness and inspire future generations to build on this foundation as we strive to expand Christ’s work in Singapore and beyond.
