YA Cell Group
Can social gatherings alone sustain us until the return of Christ? Can they truly guide us to both faithfulness and fruitfulness as we await His coming?
The answer may not be as straightforward.
In collaboration with Bethel Presbyterian Church, we aim to support you in grounding yourselves in God's Word, all while fostering mutual encouragement and support on our journey of sanctification.
Introducing our new young adults cell group—a space designed for singles and unmarried couples aged 21 to 40. We'll gather 2 - 3 times a month for moments of fellowship, prayer, mutual accountability, and engaging in the study of the Scriptures.
Marketplace for Christian dating
We thank God for the many churches and individuals who have answered the call to serve in the marketplace for Christian dating.

Blog
In the current age, "human-touch" is lacking in businesses as we start automating manual processes. Don't get me wrong - technology can increase efficiency and there is good in that (this view aligns with my day job in the advisory space).
The nature of dating is a relational one. Being a single herself, Grace experienced the alienating feeling of receiving "automated replies or politically correct answers" in her dating journey.
That is why she decided to be more personal - sharing stories, highlights and reflections on our Instagram @sacredcompanionsg.
At Sacred Companion SG, we advocate being real and talking about topics that matter.
If you do not have Instagram, fear not. Important posts will be published on our blog too!
Support for your journey
What if you're not ready to date or need more time to heal from a relationship?
Here are some activities that has helped me greatly as I navigate through singlehood.
Our vision
We envisage a world where Protestant Christian singles are supported in their search for a God-centered marriage between a man and a woman.
Our mission
Building a platform and community that supports Protestant Christian singles in their journey of seeking God's kingdom.
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well - Matthew 6: 33 (NIV)
Our motto
Desiring God as our first love, trusting Him with our next.
Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will act - Psalms 37:4-5 (NIV)
Our values
Kingdom mindset
Placing God's priorities over our wants - Matthew 16:24-26
Partnering with other churches - Philippians 1:3-5
Stewardship
Being faithful in our calling for this ministry while committing it to the Lord - may His will be done.
Fun
This isn’t just a job; it’s a calling, and we love it!
Our brand
Our logo symbolizes 2 souls refreshed in the Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple - Psalm 19:7
Our founder
According to 2020's population census, the percentage of Christians in Singapore stands at 18.9%. For every 10 person you meet, about 1 - 2 of them are Christians.
Bearing in mind that this number includes both single and married Christians, it poses a real challenge for singles who wish to find a partner with the same faith.
Grace experienced her fair share of dating woes as she swipes through dating apps, consulted dating agencies and attended dating events.
She founded Sacred Companion SG in 2021 with the aim of better supporting Christian singles in their search for a godly partner.

BRMC Equip Singles Conference
6 Apr 2024
""I loved that the session was very interactive. I loved Corinne's energy. I was surprised that we had snacks, coffee, tea & lunch. I loved how much honesty, gentleness & love was being shared. Thank you for sharing so much real scenarios that helps us in this journey."
"Very good session for Christians. I enjoyed the fact that older parents came and gave insights to relationships."
"Thank you!!! <3"
"It is great way to know other singles and also for the events targeted for our group."
"Thank you for the insights of dating agencies and revealing the truths - something that I wish I have been told. And so are the online dating and apps. This has been encouraging."
"Very insightful. Learned alot from Grace's presentation, role playing, and sharing from various participants too. Appreciate this open format where participants can share and learn from each other too."
"Good - Facilities, food, discussion topics, prayer, including people of all ages
Improvement - Can we have hourly breaks please?"
"This session was very informative, as someone with no experience in dating. Grace, Corinne, and other participants openly shared their experiences & knowledge, and make me feel very welcome. I appreciated how so much wisdom is packed into the materials, and sharing. Truly God speaks through us when we gather in His name."
"Grateful to the organizers for holding this conference. Very heartening to hear from perspectives from all walks of life. Glad to hear that we singles are not alone in walking this journey. Wish that there will be support for us singles by churches across Singapore because it is a very lonely walk. Looking forward to more enriching events in the future with you all. <3"
"Good and comprehensive sharing on dating apps and scene in Singapore today, and what to expect. Perhaps can give more examples on scenarios (i.e., do scenario based for a larger proportion of the sharing because some of us may not be familiar with the modern dating scene). I feel like the sharing and Q&As were very good and insightful. I feel we need even more time to discuss!"
"Good sharing session"
"Awesome insightful session!"
"Thank you for organizing the session. The session was definitely a fruitful and meaningful one for me, coming from a very different generation.
What I like about the session:
1. Grace and her generosity in sharing info she has researched over the years.
2. The boundaries set for the session so all are mindful and respectful of privacy and confidentiality.
3. This gave confidence for all to share candidly which enriched the session with a sense of sincerity to keep all abreast of info not journaled anywhere.
4. The interactive mode allowed people to find new friends in God’s kingdom plus made the session lively.
What could be better:
1. If time permitted, perhaps breaking into groups according to Male and Female and single and married so to allow more relatable opportunities to share challenges.
Thank you so much."
