About NTGH English Assembly


We are one of the Christian Brethren Assemblies of Malaysia. NTGH began as a Chinese speaking assembly in 1920. It began as a house church started by the late Mr. Lim Kia Joo. However, in May 1967 a young high school student initiated an English speaking Youth Fellowship Service. By God's grace, this Youth Fellowship group grew to become an English speaking congregation in 1983. By 1987 it began to have its own Church Committee and in 1993 the first Oversight was appointed. In 1996 God gave the church a vision of its own premises and a Building Project was officially launched in October 1996. With God's provision, NTGH English Assembly began to move into its own church premise on the first Sunday of April 1998. Within a short span of one year, the church was provided with over RM300,000.00 to pay for the cost of the building as well as for the renovation and basic amenities for the sanctuary. Praise be to God!
Life moves on!Ministry grew. Early 2005 God revealed to the church leadership impressing upon them the need to move to a bigger building. The whole church prayed and confirmed the leading of the Lord. In one accord, the church began to eye on the two buildings in Taman Bukit Panchor, Nibong Tebal. A visit to the site confirmed the Lord's approval of the building. Immediate plan was drafted as how to go about purchasing for these two shop lots. Praise the Lord. it was carried out in faith, with the help of a bank loan we moved on. By this time, we have a new ministry among the Vietnamese, renting a premises for them in Taman Bukit Panchor. At this point of time, we are also contemplating to start a Napalese ministry. So together we moved in faith. We moved in the the new building at 116,Lorong Bukit Panchor 3, Taman Bukit Panchor, Nibong Tebal on 2/10/2005.Praise the Lord for His wonderful leading and provisions.We had our official dedication & Thanksgivings Service for our new church hall on 18/3/2006

  1. Hi I am doing research on my grandfather who was a fulltime Christian worker sent by Farquhar Street Mission House around 1933 to 1935. I am hoping to get more information about his ministry there. His name is Tan Chin Sam and was a Teochew/Hokkien speaking worker. He stay in Nibong Tebal with his family. His wife is Loh Keng Kuang. My father, Tan Teik Khiam, was about 2 years old at that time. How can I contact you.
