Hinghwa Methodist Church was founded in 1911. The church was begun by Rev Dr W. N. Brewster a missionary working in the Fujian Province of China, known as Hinghwa. When he came to Singapore he gathered some Hinghwa-speaking Christians and thus the church was established. From its humble beginning of 13 members and 8 probationers, today the church has grown to a combined size of about 800 persons on its membership roll.
In April 1986, the present 4-storey building was completed and was dedicated on 27th Nov 1986. The church started off with a Hinghwa-speaking congregation. Later on, the Mandarin-speaking as well as the English-speaking congregations were added.
卫理公会天道堂创立于1911年。她是由来自中国福建省的宣教士蒲鲁士牧师开创的。
1933年她在三龙律购置了一间店屋,这是她的第一个产业。接着于1941年买下位于启真那路的地皮,也是目前的堂址。这栋4层楼的教堂是在1986年4月才建好,并于1986年11月27日举行奉献礼。 起初,她开始了兴化音崇拜,后来就增设了华语及英语的崇拜。 卫理公会天道堂坐落在启真那路 93 号,属于劳明达社区。她寻求完成上帝所托付的使命,为基督发光,并带领社区的居民认识耶稣基督。
