The State of the Church in Singapore 2025: The Church and Children, is the fourth instalment of the State of the Church in Singapore Study – a annual collaborative effort between Biblical Graduate School of TheologySingapore Bible CollegeTrinity Theological College and Salt&Light.

Singapore is fast becoming a super-aged society, where 21% of the population is aged 65 and above.

In 2024, we conducted the Church and Seniors study to examine how the church was shaped demographically and responding to the reality of being in such a society. To complete the picture, we decided this year to study the opposite end of the age spectrum: children aged 12 years and below.

We reasoned that in an increasingly aged society, with a total fertility rate of less than 1.0, church children’s ministries will experience pressure from there being fewer children.

Are children a demographic weight or are they future critical? Read the State of the Church 2025 study to dive deeper.
