Things to Know About the Church of Our Saviour in Singapore

Church of Our Saviour, also known as COOS, is a megachurch with an average weekly attendance of about 4,500 people. It gets founded in Queenstown, Singapore, in the 1950s as a mission along Alexandra Road. Although COOS is a parish of the traditional Anglican church, it is renowned for its charismatic activities like speaking in tongues, faith healing, and deliverance.

Choices, a program founded by Sy Rogers of Exodus International in 1991 to provide Christian conversion therapy, is a well-known ex-gay ministry at the church. Asserting that the feminist organization was concealing and propagating a “pro-gay agenda,” a group of women connected to the church allegedly organized the Association of Women for Action and Research in 2009. At an Extraordinary General Meeting, it gets finally decided to fire them. The Church of Our Saviour is under Senior Pastor Daniel Wee’s leadership.
