Emmanuel Church was established in 1974, partly to provide a ministry to Malaysian and Singaporian students at the university and polytechnic. Today, Emmanuel Church is a family-based congregation made up of folks from all walks of life and all ages. The church has been involved in founding several Reformed Baptist churches, namely, Shalom in Singapore, North Shore in Auckland, and Grace Fellowship in Jakarta, Indonesia.

• The Bible: The Bible in its original writings is fully inspired by God, and is therefore the supreme and final authority for belief and practice.
• God: God is one in essence, eternally existing in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
• Jesus Christ: Jesus is the incarnate Son of God, born of the virgin Mary, and is therefore truly God and truly human; he lived a holy and sinless life, died on the cross bearing our guilt as our vicarious substitute, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will return personally, visibly, and in power and glory.
• The Human Race: God created human beings in his own image, but Adam the first human being sinned, and through this transgression every one of us inherits a sinful nature which results in personal transgression and guilt, incurring the penalty of death, both physical and spiritual.
• Salvation: Salvation is through regeneration by the Holy Spirit (the new birth), justification by faith alone without works of righteousness, and sanctification by the indwelling Holy Spirit which produces the fruits of righteousness including good works.
• The Future: There is a future bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the just to eternal blessedness in heaven and the unjust to eternal banishment in hell.
