In 1975, ten years after the withdrawal of Singapore from the Malaysian Federation, the Presbyterian churches in Singapore and Malaysia decided to establish their own synods. The Presbyterian Church in Singapore held its first synod meeting in January 1975 and elected an executive committee holding term for two years. Since then there has been significant growth in terms of congregations and preaching stations; welfare work and education programs have been established. In 1992 two language presbyteries (Chinese and English) were formed, a decision which helped to make synod proceedings more focused. The church runs four schools (primary and secondary). Welfare services are provided for the elderly and other needy people. Several congregations have recently expanded their facilities. A theological response commission has been established to grapple with contemporary issues.
