FGA Centre, Air Itam

FGA Centre, Penang (18 May 2013)


FGA Centre is a church in Air Itam, Penang. It occupies the former Cheong Nam Theatre in the Ayer Puteh neighbourhood. The church traces its history to 1983, when services were started in Springtide Hotel. As such, it was originally known as Springtide Chapel.

Within a year of it being called Springtide Chapel, the church changed its name to Full Gospel Ministries, a name it held until 1986, when a merger with FGA KL resulted in the adoption of the name Full Gospel Assembly Penang, or simply FGA Penang.

FGA Penang occupied the former Gala Theatre off Aboo Sittee Lane from 1989 until 1997, when it occupied another theatre building, the former Majestic Theatre, following a brief period when services were held at the Paradise-Beachcomber Hotel, presently called Four Points by Sheraton.

The church bought up the former Choong Nam Theatre in 1997 and turned it into their headquarters. The building was dedicated as Wisma FGA Centre, and continues to function as the main premises of the church to this day.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
