Stepping inside the realm of faith, we find ourselves before the Christian Gospel Mission in Singapore. This unassuming location holds a story far more intricate than its exterior suggests. The Christian Gospel Mission, also known as Great Glory Church (GGC), has a history intertwined with a controversial group. GGC began humbly in October 1996. A small group of friends gathered for fellowship and praise in the void deck of an HDB flat in Ang Mo Kio. As the group grew, they moved from the void deck to a house church, then to rented shophouses in Kallang and Boon Keng. Finally, they settled at 59 Ubi Avenue 1 in the Bizlink Centre. While GGC operates independently and is registered with the Registry of Societies, it openly acknowledges a doctrinal affiliation with the Christian Gospel Mission (Providence). This connection has brought scrutiny due to the controversial figure of Providence’s founder, Jung Myung Seok. The Netflix documentary “In the Name of God: A Holy Betrayal” brought to light allegations of sexual assault against Jung. This has cast a shadow over GGC, despite its claims of respecting Jung solely as a religious teacher and the source of its doctrine. GGC maintains that it does not condone any form of abuse or sexual harassment. It emphasizes its focus on serving the Singaporean community. This is evident in its community arm, Kindred Community. Despite the controversy, GGC continues to operate. It seeks to fulfill its mission of sharing the gospel and ministering to the community. The story of the Christian Gospel Mission in Singapore is one of contrasts. It highlights the complexities of faith and the challenges of separating doctrine from the actions of its originators. It’s a story that invites reflection on the nature of belief and the search for spiritual guidance.
