Pioneer Methodist Church, Sitiawan

Pioneer Methodist Church (GPS: 4.19654, 100.70038) is a church in Sitiawan, Perak. The settlement of Sitiawan is closely tied to the founding of this church in Sitiawan, and the arrival of Fuzhou migrants who were Christians. Thus its name, the Pioneer Methodist Church, is indeed appropriate.

The present church building dates back to 1927, though its history in Sitiawan goes back further, to the end of 1904, when the church obtained a ten-acre plot for its use. However, even before the church was fully completed, it was razed in a fire, and thus the congregation had to undertake another building fund, and the church was completed in 1907. This was replaced with the present building, which has a plan in the form of a cross.

Missionaries of the Pioneer Methodist Church is said to have been involved in the setting up of the Anglo Chinese School in Sitiawan, known today as SMK Methodist ACS Sitiawan.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
