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.
