In January 1970, a group of Christian Officers led by LTC (Ret) Rev Patrick Tan Kang Ping gathered and found a Christian fellowship within the Singapore Armed Forces.

In the following 2 years, attempts were made to register the group with the Registry of Societies but these efforts failed. We then faced the prospect of being disbanded.

Upon knowing our situation, the Fellowship of Evangelical Students (FES) formed the Armed Forces Committee (AFC) on 8 July 1972, and we became affiliated to FES as the AFC.

In 1983, AFC was renamed Military Christian Fellowship.
