in 1819. Within half a year, the first Protestant missionary arrived to set up a local ministry. The first Roman Catholic priest came in December 1821 to look into the feasibility of opening a missionary station
, and celebrated the first Mass.
The colonial administration adopted an official policy of neutrality and non-interference regarding religion. Missionaries established churches and Christian ministries on the island. They also set up welfare organisations and many missionary schools which are well regarded for their high quality education today.
Local-born church leaders gradually took over the running of their ministries. Theological colleges were established to produce the next generation of leaders, and more churches and Christian organisations were set up, resulting in an increase in the proportion of Christians in Singapore today. The percentage of Christians among Singaporeans increased from 12.7% in 1990 to 14.6% in 2000. whilst the latest census as of 2010 has showed the Christian population increase from 14.6 % to 17.5%.

In addition, Singapore is considered a key base for missionary and humanitarian activities in the Asia-Pacific
region and beyond.
Beyond the churches, there are many Christian organisations engaging in activities such as fund raising, healthcare for the needy, establishing homes for the elderly, providing family services and youth development. These organisations include the Salvation Army
, Fei Yue Family Centres, Teen Challenge
and various community hospitals. The Christian community also comes together for fund-raising events like the LoveSingapore movement which organises walkathons and prayer sessions for those in need.
, Faith Community Baptist Church and New Creation Church have been very successful in attracting large numbers of youths and working adults to convert to their versions of Christianity. These churches usually have services in which songs are performed in contemporary style, which are seen as trendy by many youths. Nevertheless, they are not without controversy and some older Christians consider the practices of such churches to be contrary to the traditions of Christianity.
