Kulai B-P Fellowship
IN FEBRUARY 1973, Life B-P Church
bought over 266 Kulai Garden, a corner
terrace house and established a mission
station there. This was the very beginning
of Kulai B-P Fellowship. Rev.
Liew Hon Seng was the first pastor assigned
to start the work. For the next few
years, Rev. and Mrs Timothy Tow, together
with some FEBC students, took turns to
come and minister to the children and
youths from the neighbourhood, through
Sunday School and Bible Study. Thus the
Kulai B-P Youth Fellowship was formed
in 1975. Life B-P Church was supporting
this ministry.
On the first Sunday of August 1980,
the first proper Sunday worship service was
inaugurated with Rev. Freddy Yong taking
over as pastor. During his tenure, the
church building underwent some minor
renovations. The front porch and the
backyard were extended. The Church was
then known as Kulai Besar B-P Church. A
church committee was formed to assist
Pastor Freddy. Calvary B-P Church took
over the support in 1984.
Pastor and Mrs Freddy Yong moved
back to Singapore, owing to their children’s
education. In 1985, David Wong, an FEBC
student, took over the pastoral work. Both
Mr and Mrs David Wong started Calvary
Kindergarten in 1986. Because of space
constraint, the neighbouring house, 264
Kulai Garden was rented as the parsonage.
Meanwhile, Kulai Church elected its first
Session.
In 1990 Rev. David Wong was ordained
and two years later, the church became
financially independent. For the extension
of the Church ministry, a shop-lot
at 145-A Main Rd, Kulai, was rented as
our worship hall in 1993. The Church was
registered under the Society Act and its
name was officially changed to Kulai B-P
Fellowship for registration purposes.
On 27 December 98, an extraordinary
general meeting was held to seek permission
from members to empower the property
search committee to suggest or buy
any suitable property for Kulai B-P Fellowship.
This proposal was accepted by all
members. On 24 January 99, the Session
and the property search committee proposed
to buy a corner shop-lot at 1141,
Jalan Jambu Satu in Taman Muhibah,
Saleng, at a price of RM 385.000. A building
committee was formed to look into this
matter. The Lord is to be praised for His
mercies and providence in moving the
hearts of His people from far and near to
give so spontaneously and sacrificially towards
the purchase of this property. On 31
July 99, we were able to dedicate our new
church building to the Lord. Our 19th
thanksgiving anniversary was held the following
day on 1 August 99.
