I hope no one is going to become a member of any church just to get your children into a particular school. Becoming a member of a church means you have to declare that you believe in Jesus Christ as your (only) Saviour, Lord and God. You would have to declare this in front of the whole congregation. As a member of a particular church, you should be part of that church community, participating in the work of the church. In many churches, these are part of the vows.


Saying the vows without intention of keeping them is wrong.

[quote=\"scoobydoo\"]Other than Tao Nan, Haig Girls, my wife and I are also considering MGS for my daughter. Would like to know what is the definition of \"endorsed\" here ? Does it mean that by simply being a member of a Methodist Church, we're \"endorsed\" and it qualifies my daughter for phase 2B or do I still require a letter of recommendation from the church ?
Are there different \"endorsement\" critieria for the different Methodist Schools ?

You would still need a letter from the church. Rest assured....it is fairly straightforward. When the time is due, the church would either announce during service or via the church newsletter that parents who plan to register their kids to a Methodist affiliated P1 school using the church 'connection' that year would have to submit their request by filling up a form. You will then receive an official endorsement from the church in the form of a letter confirming your affiliation to the church thus allowing you to apply to the school under Phase 2B. You will have to produce this letter on the day of the P1 registration.

I doubt that there are different endorsement criteria. As long as you are a member of the Methodist church, you should have no problems obtaining the letter.

Hi angeliatay,
