History
In 1964, Faith Methodist Church had begun as a Methodist Chapel to serve the then rapidly developing satellite town of Queenstown.
Before the buildings were completed, worship services were conducted in the open air and later a temporary shed was erected for the purpose.
In 1967, the Church building at 400 Commonwealth Drive was completed and named as 'Faith Methodist Church' in honour of God's faith in the entire project and in memory of Faith Goh, the only daughter of Dr and Mrs Goh Kok Kee, who were gracious donors of the Church Building Fund.
Faith's membership grew tremendously. As the church facilities were inadequate to meet the needs of its worshippers it was decided to redevelop the land to maximize its use. In 2002, the church building was demolished and redevelopment started.
Today, after almost two full years of redevelopment, this $12 million church building is finally ready. It houses a 900-seat sanctuary, 700-seat worship hall, two levels of parking, as well as kindergarten and elderly care services, and a Columbarium. In addition, the church facility also provides wheelchair accessible facilities to users.
Besides fulfilling its role to bring the Gospel to the Queenstown neighbourhood and beyond, the church envisages the new building to be a focal point for interaction and fellowship, a place where people can find love, acceptance and a new meaning in life.
