The Church
1911
In 1911, our church utilized the amount of 5,650 pesos to purchase a 839 square meter lot along Reina Regente Street. A rectory and a two storey church building were subsequently built. The ground floor was used for worship services. On the second floor were living quarters for the pastoral staff and three big classrooms. The buildings were inaugurated on Palm Sunday the following year.
1922
In 1922, the church started conducting separate services in Amoy and Cantonese. In 1923, Mr. Sia Chi Ken came to serve as pastoral worker. He left in 1929, bringing with him a group of church members to set up a new church. This contributed in part to the establishment of two new Chinese churches, namely, the United Evangelical Church of the Philippines and the Christian Gospel Church.
