In 1965, a group of American Southern Baptist missionaries living in the Holland Village area started to meet in a missionary residence at Jalan Pelangi. This church was initially known as the 'Holland Road Baptist Church'. It soon grew among the international community living in the district and in 1968, it was renamed the International Baptist Church. In 1969, the church finished the construction of its own building at King's Road where they have been since. Today, this multinational congregation consists of over 35 different nationalities as well as local Singaporeans.
