Queenstown Baptist Chuch
6) Queenstown Baptist Church
Along Margaret Drive there is the Queenstown Baptist Church which was established in 1962 by the Malaya Baptist Mission of the Foreign Board which has its origins in the Southern Baptist Convention of the United States. Despite its American origins, the first congregation of this Church was Cantonese-speaking, reflecting the dialect-speaking community in Queenstown then. The original Chapel can be found on the left. The larger block on the right was built in 1992 to house the growing congregation. The church still conducts its Cantonese service and continues to be active in community work, providing volunteer services to institutions along Margaret Drive, and in-kind relief to the needy.
Whilst we were there, a seminar of some sorts was going on within the church. We left quietly after taking a few pictures of the place. Following that, we headed down to our next stop
