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.
