Orchard Rd Presbyterian Church

ORPC, fundada em 1856 para ministrar as necessidades da comunidade Scots em Cingapura

The Orchard Road Presbyterian Church - ORPC - (The Presbyterian Church in Singapore) was founded in 1856 to minister to the needs of the Scots business community in SIngapore. The first church building (on the present site) was completed in 1878 and has been extended several times.

Alongside the growth of the physical facilities has been the development of the Church from an English-speaking expatriate congregation to a church embracing four different language congregations. In addition to the English-speaking congregation, a Mandarin-speaking congregation (1968), and Indonesian congregation (1976) and a German congregation (1978) now regularly worship as part of the Orchard Road Presbyterian Church. The Mandarin language congregation is now the Providence Presbyterian Church which continues to meet at the Orchard Road site.
