The story of Emmanuel began in 1958, in a rented single-storey terrace house at 25 Everitt Road. It was then a branch of Elim Church , and was called Elim Chapel.
The name "Emmanuel Assembly of God" was adopted in 1969 when the church became a sovereign church affiliated to the Assemblies of God of Singapore.
As the Lord added new souls to Emmanuel, the church soon outgrew its facilities, and from 1980, it became necessary to meet at rented halls for Sunday morning services.
The Lord provided for our growing needs, and the present site at 165 Upper East Coast Road was purchased in August 1985. It was a single storey building then.
The Lord continued to bless the church, and soon we had to have multiple services to cater to the growing congregation.
In 1996, the building was demolished to make way for a 4-storey building. After only seventeen months of construction, we held our official opening of the new church on April 18, 1998.
God has indeed began a new phase of development in our church. We invite you to be a part of His great programme through Emmanuel: to reach out in blessing the people in Singapore and other parts of the world for the glory of God - looking forward to the glorious appearing of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
If there are any areas in your life which you think we can be of any help or service, please feel free to call upon us at 6445-5566.
Glory to God!
