Telok Ayer Chinese Methodist Church (Abbreviation: TACMC), (Chinese: 卫理公会直落亚逸礼拜堂) is located on Telok Ayer Street within the Downtown Core of Singapore's central business district. The church is approximately 450 metres from Telok Ayer MRT station.[2]
Founded in 1889,[3] TACMC is the first Chinese Methodist Church to be established in Singapore.[4][1][5] It has stood on Telok Ayer Street for more than a hundred years.[3]
TACMC is presently affiliated to the Chinese Annual Conference of the Methodist Church in Singapore.[6] It was gazetted a national monument by Singapore's Urban Redevelopment Authority on 23 March 1989.[4][7]
