We are pleased to share details of our next Campfire fellowship. Join us as we will be expecting an intimate time of sharing and being in the presence of God.

Save the date: 8 Apr 2026, Wednesday at 730PM. We will meet at a central location in Singapore, which will be shared privately with those who confirm their attendance.

Program highlights
730pm: Welcome & introduction | 8pm: Worship | 830pm: Quiet time| 845pm: Word sharing | 945pm: Prayer | 10pm: End

Each guest is expected to have their own dinners beforehand as there will not be any catered meal provided during this fellowship.
Please let us know if you're interested in joining us and feel free to invite friends or family members. We're excited to create an environment where genuine friendships are forged, and where we can grow together. We aim to gather twice a month, nurturing a community built on care and understanding. We hope to see you there.

Why Campfire Community
Campfire Community is a vibrant group of Christians in Singapore. What makes us unique is our emphasis on embracing the Father's heart, as fully revealed in the self giving, radically forgiving and co-suffering love of Christ. Truth is, God is like Jesus. Without Jesus, we will never know that the invisible God of the universe is actually a Fatherly figure who loves us all unconditionally!

We welcome people from all denominations and backgrounds, drawing inspiration from a wide range of Christian traditions and even philosophical influences dating back to ancient times. We provide a safe and inclusive environment for individuals exploring their spiritual journeys, especially those going through moments of questioning and growth. Unlike some church communities, we celebrate theological diversity, valuing the richness it brings to our collective experience.
Come join us on this journey of discovery and connection!

If you resonate with the following principles, we cordially invite you to join our community:

1. Nicene Creed: At the core of our theological stance lies the profound significance of the Nicene Creed. We firmly anchor ourselves in the belief in the incarnation, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ

2. Scriptural Authority: While we hold a deep reverence for scriptures, we place greater emphasis on interpreting and evaluating every viewpoint through the lens of "What would Jesus say about this matter?" Our unwavering conviction is that Jesus is the ultimate revelation of God's Word, and we eagerly seek to align our biblical understanding with the heart of Christ.

3. Universal Reconciliation: We embrace the blessed hope of apokatastasis, which entails the universal restoration of all things as depicted in Acts 3:21. Drawing support from scriptural evidence, the teachings of the early church fathers, and our innate spiritual discernment, we find compelling reasons to embrace the hopeful belief in universalism—that ultimately, all would be saved.

4. Radical Inclusion: In the incarnation of Christ, we witness the radical inclusion of all humanity in His redemptive plan. As followers of Jesus, we emulate His example by embracing and welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds, irrespective of their race, sexual orientation, religion, or political affiliations.

If these guiding principles resonate with the yearnings of your heart, we extend a warm invitation for you to join us in our journey of faith.

Some walks are for fitness. This one is for kindness. Date: 11 April 2026 (Sat) Time: 8:30 am to 1:00 Venue: Upper Thomson MRT (TE8) Exit 4 Our journey begins at Thomson MRT, leading us into the peaceful trails of MacRitchie Reservoir. For 11km, we walk through nature — reminding ourselves that Singapore’s greatest strength has always been community. But the real purpose of the walk lies beyond the trail. At Shunfu Food Centre, we will savour the old-school flavours that many seniors from Blk 170 Toa Payoh still remember and long for — simple dishes that carry memories of kampung days, hard work, and a lifetime of stories. Through Pack2Treat, these meals become more than food. They become a small gesture of love for 80 elderly residents, while also supporting the hardworking older hawkers who keep these traditional tastes alive. This walk also celebrates the generous spirit of the Live Share & Care community, whose quiet acts of giving make these meals possible. From forest trail to hawker table, every step reminds us that kindness grows when people walk together. Because sometimes the most meaningful journey is not the 11km we complete — but the smiles we deliver at the end of the walk. Please read this #1 - This is a number-controlled event. Please come only if you are on the attending list. #2 - We will move out at 0830 sharp. We are not able to wait for late-comers. #3 - As this is a limited number event, please check your calendar and make sure you can come before you RSVP. Do not change your attendance at the last minute and deny someone else who genuinely wishes to come.

**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
