Wesley Methodist Church Butterworth

Wesley Methodist Church Butterworth (GPS: 5.407944, 100.409422) is a major church in Permatang Pauh. It occupies a plot of land at Lorong Arowana 3 in Taman Arowana. The church building was constructed at a cost of RM3.8 million. The new building can accommodate up to 500 people. In addition to the main hall, it has an office, meeting rooms and spacious space for parking.

The Wesley Methodist Church Butterworth established through church-planting effort of the Chinese Methodist Church of Bukit Mertajam in 1961. The members of the church began holding English-speaking services, initially meeting at a house in Bukit Mertajam. In 1966 the believers managed to secure a permanent site for their service at a shophouse on Jalan Pantai, Butterworth, in 1966.

The land at Permatang Pauh was bought as early as 1971. It was a long journey from then until sufficient fund was raised to construct the church building. Construction only began in 2012 and was completed the following year. It was dedicated in 2014.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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