Home Care Group (HCG) Ministry

Although there were several Bible Study groups in existence, the Moriah HCG Ministry was only formally established in 2005.

The aims of the HCG ministry are fourfold:

  1. Build and strengthen the bond in Christ for mutual encouragement and support through regular gatherings
  2. Equip with the truth from God’s Word for spiritual growth and perseverance in the Christian faith
  3. Thanksgiving and intercession for one another, for the Church and the Body of Christ as a whole
  4. Extend pastoral care and feedback for pastoral ministering and prayers
Currently, there are 6 HCGs, most with different group profiles and programmes. With an average membership of 15 to 20 people (some including children) per HCG, the programmes vary from having special guests sharing with the group on communication, parenting, mission, etc to topical studies on faith, parables, biblical marriage/ parenting and commands of Christ. In some HCGs, the children participate actively in the main HCG programme while in other HCGs, separate programmes catering to the children may be held

In a Church, there is always a need for closer fellowship to be fostered, particularly as we lived in troubled end times. It is my prayer for more members and friends to commit their time and hearts to be involved in this small-group ministry and for God to raise more leaders to meet this need.

As we celebrate God’s goodness and grace to Moriah for the past 10 years, may we all desire to know the blessings and responsibilities that comes by being a member of the Body of Christ.

Colossians 3:14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness (unity).
