Telok Ayer Chinese Methodist Church, Methodist church at Telok Ayer Street, Singapore.

The stone building features arched windows, Byzantine influences, and a Chinese-style roof at the intersection of Telok Ayer and Cecil Streets.

Benjamin Franklin West established this first Chinese Methodist church in Singapore during 1889, initially operating from a shophouse on Upper Nanking Street.

The church continues to conduct religious services in three languages - English, Mandarin, and Hokkien - to serve different community groups.

Located at 235 Telok Ayer Street, the church underwent a complete restoration between 1993 and 1995, requiring an investment of 3 million Singapore dollars.

During World War II, the church strengthened its exterior walls and provided shelter to 300 refugees while maintaining regular religious services.
