New Creation Church is a megachurch in Singapore founded in 1984. The church currently has a congregation of more than 31,000. It held its inaugural service at The Star Performing Arts Centre on 23 December 2012 to celebrate Christmas as well as its move to the new performing arts venue at one-north.〔 〕 Joseph Prince is the senior pastor of the church. While it is charismatic in practice and evangelical in belief, it is non-denominational and is not affiliated to any church overseas. It is a member of the National Council of Churches of Singapore. ==History== The church was founded by a small group of young pioneer leaders including Joseph Prince, Henry Yeo, David Yeow and Jack Ho in 1983. It was later officially registered with the Registrar of Societies in October 1984. It began its Sunday service with an average attendance of 25 people. Gradually, it grew to about 150 members in 1990 when Pastor Prince was appointed as the senior pastor of the church.〔 During the period between 1984 and 1999, the church used different worship venues such as a hall within the premises of the Young Women's Christian Association of Singapore and the ballrooms in local hotels to accommodate its growing congregation.〔 In 1999, the church moved to the Rock Auditorium in Suntec City Mall. On 23 December 2012, its services were shifted to The Star PAC.〔 The church grew from 150 members in 1990 to more than 10,000 members in 2004, later tripling that number to 30,000 as of April 2013.〔 Since 2009, Pastor Prince has not been on the church payroll, and currently serves as a volunteer pastor at the church.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New Creation Church talks about its affiliated companies )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New Creation Church」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
