Making an impact and transforming communities has been a core value and mission in Church of Singapore. Beginning from 1977, COS made its first foray into providing community services through Tung Ling Kindergarten. This is followed by a partnership with other churches and para-organisations to found St Luke’s Hospital (which has since expanded to include St Luke’s Eldercare). Later, Tung Ling Bible School (which is now fully independent), Tung Ling Student Care Centre and Tung Ling Community Services were founded.
