Walking along Commonwealth Avenue, you will come across this church that has been a familiar landmark of Queenstown since the 1960s. The church trustees first bought this piece of land in 1964 when it was surrounded by farms and swampland.
The founding pastor, Reverend T.C. Nga recalls losing one of his shoes to the swampy ground when he visited the site.
The first open-air service was held on Easter Sunday of 1965 followed by regular open air services till the building was completed in 1967. Built at a cost of $250,000, services were held in Foochow, Hokkien, Mandarin and English to cater to the dialect-speaking residents. The church was named Faith Methodist Church in 1966 for two reasons. Firstly, it was in recognition of the congregation's faith, and secondly it was in memory of Faith Goh, the only daughter of Dr and Mrs Goh Kok Kee, who had generously donated $100,000 to the church. Faith had passed away while the church was under construction.
In 2002, the original buildings were demolished to make way for the current structures. Today, the church houses two congregations; the Queenstown Chinese Methodist Church and Faith Methodist Church.
