The Borneo Evangelical Church or SIB (Malay: Sidang Injil Borneo) is an evangelical Christian denomination in Malaysia. The church was organised in 1959 from the work of the Borneo Evangelical Mission with help from the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church in Indonesia (Indonesian: Gereja Kemah Injil Indonesia), an ethnic Torajan-based Protestant church in South Sulawesi province (also an offshoot denomination of the Christian and Missionary Alliance as a result of its mission work in the said region), which is currently headquartered nationally in Senen, Central Jakarta.^[1]

Claiming more than 500,000 members,^[2] the SIB is the largest Protestant denomination in Malaysia having evolved from a small missionary presence among the Lun Bawang people of the Kelabit Highlands as well as the district of Sipitang and the Ibans as well as the Bisayas of Limbang and also the Dusuns of Kota Belud and Ranau until it endlessly planted dozens of congregations both in East Malaysia and West Malaysia today.
