Reservoir Garden Baptist Church

Reservoir Garden Baptist Church (18 May 2013)


Reservoir Garden Baptist Church is a church in Reservoir Garden, in the Ayer Puteh neighbourhood of Air Itam, Penang. Located on the eponymous street that bears its name, the church is popularly known by its acronym, RGBC.

According to RGBC, their church traces its history to the ministry established by believers Joseph and Alice Choo, who held services at a house in nearby Reservoir Crescent in 1963. Since the 1970s the church began to adopt a more charismatic approach to its teachings and services. Over the years it had also been involved in church planting and the founding of new churches in other towns and neighbourhoods.

The church runs a nursery and preschool centre for children of the neighbourhood.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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