The website of the English speaking church that we currently go to is http://www.
It is called House of Praise, COC. COC is an Australian church group that sets up churches around the world.
The English speaking congregation is made up of mostly Western missionaries. Many are involved in work over the border, or run orphanages, etc. And the Thai congregation has no white faces at all. Such a segregation, but common in Thailand.
It meets at 9am on Sundays. Yes, we struggle to get there on time.
Very friendly church (once you get to know people by going along to the ladies nights etc) with lots of opportunities for the kids to do outreaches and ministry work. Children's work is run by a straight talking, humorous Irish lady, "I am not a baby sitting service! I want to train your kids to be world changers and history makers!"
The first Sunday of each month, the kids will be in the worship in the main service and leave after that during the announcements. Other Sundays they go straight to their classrooms.
The main (air-con) auditorium is on the 2nd floor (Singaporean 2nd floor). There is a lift just after the staircase on the ground floor. We usually sit on the right hand side in the auditorium, but I am often in the nursing room behind if I can't keep or toddler quiet.
Childcare for kids aged 2 to 6 can be found downstairs in the preschool classroom whereas kids aged 6 and older are upstairs on the 3rd floor with Transformers.
Pastors are really lovely, sociable and warm.
To get there, please print off the map in the weblink above and give it to your taxi driver.
There is coffee downstairs after the service, which ends at 10.30am. People often stay to chat till 11 or 11.30am.
Once a quarter, the service is trilingual -so in Thai, English and Burmese.
