Who are We?
Kuala Lumpur Chinese Methodist Church
Kuala Lumpur Chinese Methodist Church is strategically located in the heart of Malaysia’s capital city, Kuala Lumpur — at the crossroads of politics, economics, and culture — and holds a unique spiritual significance. Since its establishment in 1897 by missionary Dr. Kensette, the church has grown steadily by God’s grace, becoming a light in the city and faithfully proclaiming truth while shepherding the community.
For more than a century, Kuala Lumpur Chinese Methodist Church has been rooted in the community, responding to the call of the times and continually expanding the boundaries of the Gospel. The church has planted several preaching points, many of which have since grown into independent churches, witnessing God’s expansion and renewal. Today, the churches under KLCMC include: Miharja Chinese Methodist , Serendah Chinese Methodist Chapel , and Cameron Highlands Chinese Methodist Chapel.
Today, we continue to connect generations, carry the vision of God’s Kingdom, and faithfully serve as Christ’s witnesses in the city, bringing lasting blessings and influence to the nation and the world.

Miharja Chinese Methodist
Miharja Chinese Methodist was formerly known as KL Methodist Vineyard and was established on 1 July 2007. In its early stage, the ministry focused on serving senior citizens and underprivileged families. As the community demographics changed, the church began seeking new ministry breakthroughs. In 2015, God led the church to “step out in faith” and expand the ministry work to Miharja, focusing mainly on the Chinese-speaking community. Miharja Methodist Vineyard was officially launched on 6 March 2016, continuing to witness God’s guidance and blessings in the new community.

Serendah Chinese Methodist Chapel
Serendah Chinese Methodist Chapel was officially established on November 1, 2008. Seeing the needs of the local community and the absence of a Methodist preaching center in the area, the church began ministry work and invited local youths and residents to participate. In the early years, gatherings and activities were held in a rented tuition center. Despite limitations in space and time, the church remained committed to serving the community and nurturing spiritual growth.
In 2009, through the efforts of Pastor Choo Sin Hua, the Vineyard moved to its current location. The church also started adult classes, prayer meetings, and children’s Sunday School, strengthening its connection with the community. Address 21&23, Jalan Klambang 1A, Desa Kiambang, 48200 Serendah, Selangor.

Cameron Highlands Chinese Methodist Chapel
Cameron Highlands Chinese Methodist Chapel is the 10th daughter church established by KLCMC. Located in Brinchang, about 120 km from Kuala Lumpur, it is also the furthest among the three chapel.
In the early years, pastors, co-workers, and church members faithfully traveled up and down Cameron Highlands every week despite the challenges. In 2018, the church moved into a shoplot purchased at Tanah Rata. The first family nurtured through the Vineyard was Brother Hew Wei Khan’s family of four. Today, they continue to serve faithfully in the preaching center, while his wife has been called into ministry and is pursuing theological studies alongside her service.

Declaration of Faith
The Holy Scriptures
The Holy Scriptures We believe that the Holy Scriptures (including the Old and New Testaments) are divinely inspired, true and trustworthy, and the only authority for faith and practice. The Bible reveals God’s plan of salvation and serves as the foundation of our faith and daily living.
The Triune God
The Triune God We believe in the one eternal and living God, existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit — one in essence, together the Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer of all.
God the Father
God the Father We believe that God the Father is the almighty Creator of heaven and earth. He is loving, righteous, faithful, and gracious to His children, and He sovereignly rules and guides all things.
Jesus Christ, the Son
Jesus Christ, the Son We believe that Jesus Christ is the only Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross for the sins of humanity, was raised from the dead, and ascended into heaven. He now sits at the right hand of the Father and will return to judge the living and the dead.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit We believe that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. He convicts people of sin, gives new life, and empowers believers to worship, serve, and bear witness. The Holy Spirit guides believers into a holy life and leads them into all truth.
Humanity and Sin
Humanity and Sin We believe that humanity was created in the image of God. However, through disobedience and sin, humanity fell and became separated from God, resulting in spiritual death. Everyone needs the redemption offered through Jesus Christ.
Salvation
Salvation We believe that salvation is entirely the work of God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. It is not earned by works, but is God’s free gift. A person must repent, believe, and be born again.
The Church
The Church We believe that the universal Church is the Body of Christ, made up of all true believers. The local church is a community of faith where believers worship, are discipled, grow together, and proclaim the Gospel. We practise the sacraments instituted by Christ—Baptism and Holy Communion.
The Christian Life
The Christian Life We believe that Christians are called to live holy lives, relying on the Holy Spirit to grow in love and righteousness, bear the fruit of the Spirit, and mature in faith, knowing God, and glorifying Him.
The Second Coming and Eternal Destiny
The Second Coming and Eternal Destiny We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ will return, and that those who belong to Him will share in His glory and be with Him forever. Those who reject God will be separated from Him eternally. We look forward to the renewal of all things and will dwell with God forever.
