Who makes up the Village
SJSM Village is made up of five entities. The church grounds houses the church, Little Seeds Preschool (SJSM), SJSM Nursing Home and the Senior Care Centre operated by St Andrew’s Active Ageing Centre (Care) (Dover) that offers daycare services for seniors. In the Dover neighbourhood is the Heartfriends Student Care Centre as well as “KopiStop”, now operated also by St Andrew’s AAC.
More details on each as well as links to their organization websites can be found below.
St. John’s-St. Margaret’s Church
Established in 1971, St. John’s-St. Margaret’s Church is an Anglican church within the Diocese of Singapore. Located near educational institutions, the church offers weekly worship services in four languages (English, Chinese, Tamil, Filipino) catering to diverse age groups.
Traditional and contemporary worship styles are blended to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. The church also conducts youth ministries and junior church services.
As a church spanning generations, the church has long been naturally inter-generational. Hosting the Village with the Nursing Home and Preschool on its premises expanded the scope and efforts to encourage inter-generational interactions beyond just the church.
