We are followers of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for our sin, was buried, and then rose from the grave. He lives today and stands ready to give abundant and eternal life to those who repent of sin and place their faith in Him.
The purpose of Kay Poh Road Baptist Church (KPRBC) is to
live the great Commandment to love and worship God, obey the great Commission to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with others, and cultivate active discipleship.

The main outlines of the faith of this Church are as follows:
- The whole Bible is given by inspiration of God and there is absolute infallibility in the original text.
- God the Father is the Lord of the universe and the Heavenly Father of believers.
- Jesus, God the Son, is the Word that was made flesh, who died and shed His blood on the cross for the remission of sins, rose again from the dead the third day, ascended to heaven, shall come again to reward the Church and judge the living and the dead, and is the Saviour of mankind.
- God, the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, convicts of sin, enlightens and influences human beings to believe and trust Jesus, comforting, helping, teaching and guiding the believers.
- God the Holy Father, God the Holy Son, God the Holy Spirit are the Triune Almighty God.
- God freely gives His salvation to the world and whosoever believes in Jesus Christ, accepts Him as his own personal Saviour and enters into the Kingdom of God through the regeneration of the Holy Spirit shall be saved.
- The Church is the House of God, the Body of Christ, established and developed by means of the gifts given by the Holy Spirit and is responsible to preach the Gospel to the world.
Forty-five years ago, after World War II, five of the surviving members of Kinto Baptist Church in Hong Kong, together with two Singaporean members, met to discuss the proposal of starting a Cantonese-speaking Baptist church. After several rounds of discussion and an arduous search for other surviving members, the first Cantonese-speaking Baptist church in Singapore was started on 7 July 1949, using the premises of Teochew Baptist Church situated then at Sophia Road.
KPRBC is a member of the Singapore Baptist Convention, an association of Baptist churches in Singapore.

Statement of Faith
Our History
Singapore Baptist Convention
In April 1951, the members decided to purchase a house in the city as the church. With the help of the American Southern Baptist Church, a house at Tras Street was purchased and the church began functioning in the premises in April 1951. The building had three storeys. The first storey was used for worship services, the second storey for Sunday School and the top storey as the pastor's quarters. With a place of its own, the church grew and expanded in that locality in the next ten years.
With the growth in membership, the church once again had to look for a bigger place. This time the members shared the vision of buying a piece of land for the church building. Through generous donations and pledges of the members and again with the help of the American Southern Baptist Church, a piece of land in Kay Poh Road was acquired in 1961.
Let us sing praises to His Holy Name in gratitude. Amen.
