History of YMPACT
YMPACT started in 2000 with just over 20 youths. Back then, we were known as ISS, Intermediate Sunday School, and we were based in the Peace Cove.
Spiritual growth was slow and lethargic and many felt that change was important for the Youth Ministry.
In 2001, after some changes to the ISS structure, we started a new worship team and moved from the Peace Cove to the Aldersgate Hall. We came to be known as the PMC YM. Coming to church then became an exciting
time of meeting God. The number of youths doubled
and many were challenged into a deeper relationship
with God. The next 3 years would be a time of
learning what worked and what did not, with respect
to the development of the Youth Ministry. As the
Youth Ministry continued to grow, there was much
talk of a youth service, but for many years that
remained a dream. However in 2005, PMC underwent a
building extension project, and we were challenged
to rebuild ourselves structurally as well as spiritually in preparation for 2006, when we had the
resources to start a youth service.
2006 was a new beginning for the youths in PMC. With
a new Chapel that we had moved into on Sunday
mornings, we could now have a youth service to cater
to the growing numbers in the Youth Ministry. We
held a competition and put the submitted entries to
a vote, before deciding on YMPACT as our name. This
serves as a lasting reminder of how we want to make
an impact in our community. Currently standing at
over 200 strong, we desire to be a shining light and
an impactful force in Pasir Ris and the communities
in which we find ourselves.
Moving past the stage of infancy, YMPACT will
continue to strive in growing for the glory of God’s
Kingdom. We ask that as you read this, you will pray
alongside us, for God’s favour to continue to shower
on His ministry in YMPACT, and that His people will
continue to hunger and thirst for His righteousness.

TimingsYMPACT meets weekly on Sunday, from 9:00am to 10:20am at the Chapel on Level 4.
We gather for a time of prayer, praise and learning of
God’s Word. YMPACT is led by Pastor Chan Siew Chye and
our chairperson, Gabriel Lim.
From 9:00am to 10:20am on Sundays, we have our YMPACT
service, where we have a speaker sharing on a seasonal
topic, or teenage issues from a Christian perspective. And
from 10:20am to 11:30am we break up into Small Groups.
These Small Groups are catered for our Band 1 youths, aged
13 to 16, and led by youths 17 years old and above. The
purpose of these Small Groups is to develop a redeeming
and caring community in YMPACT, to provide each youth
with a comfortable environment to grow in, and to ground
them in Spiritual Truths. Band 2 and 3 youths, aged 17 to 20
and 21 to 25 respectively, have their own Life Groups during
the week for similar purposes, and to develop strong
friendships and accountability between each other.
We also have occasional activities for the youths to have fun
and get to mingle and know one another better, within Small
Groups or levels. Past activities conducted include Amazing
Races, Food Hunts, barbecues and Laser Tag.
The newly painted Youth Lounge is available for your enjoyment, with a pool table, a
football table and a collection of board games for fun and fellowship!
Do contact the Church Office to book the Youth Lounge, if ever you want a place to
hangout!
