SIBKL

Being the church just right outside my workplace, I do visit this place when there’s a special event going on.
My colleagues who are church members here would update me on the brown bag conversation sessions that is happening once a while where they focus on talking about issues of young adults and teens that most of the time seems like topic of taboos at the average Asian household.
Do check out their website and find out more about their brown bag conversation sessions.

First of all, I am not a Christian, but I came to this place to witness my friend’s water baptism. I think the members here are very supportive towards their members as when the candidates share their story, they have often faced traumatizing events and with the help of Jesus and the members there, they became more emotionally strong and grow for the better.
When the members sing I could feel their passion and love towards their god and also their emotional bond and connection with the members there. I am unfamiliar with Christianity, but I have a gut feeling that if you’re looking for warm and caring community, you’ll get all the love you need here.

I have been church hopping after I came back from Perth and finally settled down in SIBKL.
My fiancé brought me here when I was back here in KL while I was on a semester break a few years back and felt comfortable to settle in this church when I eventually return to Malaysia for good.
It has been 2 years since and every weekend I do look forward to attend the SIBKL’s afternoon service on Saturdays. This is because I find it hard to wake up on Sunday mornings. Haha.
I feel very welcome by the church, the staff are always with a big smile on their faces and ever so friendly to approach newcomers (then me) to be part of the church. Newcomers will be given a goodie bag from the church and to be shown the history of the church.
The pastors that lead the church, are very committed and down to earth. I have bumped into them a few times, and they would actually spend time with me to have a conversation. I am truly touched to have these pastors who have their heats out for their members.

Regardless of your spiritual belief, I personally feel that all religions teach us to be good and set us a guidance to live as we go through stages in life.
It is comforting to know that I found that place at SIB KL. The church was founded by three Australian missionaries who set sail from Adelaide and arrive in Sarawak in Oct 1928. Together with a timber merchant, they established a base on the little-​known island of Borneo and started the Borneo Evangelical Mission, now known as Sidang Injil Borneo (SIB).
Today, SIB KL is headed by senior pastor — Pastor Chew Weng Chee and his wife — Pastor Lew Lee Choo as deputy senior pastor.
Though SIBKL is a big church, I often find the people and the place very welcoming and strongly connected. I think it is also because I am part of the cell group and do get involved in community activities which is key in bringing you closer to the church.
Besides that, SIBKL is actively organising classes and workshops to cater to the church members’ needs ranging from bible courses, pre-​marital courses, workplace talks and so on.
I have been attending the pre-​marriage course under the guidance of the lovely couple/​owner of Cananland. I really thank God for all the blessings He has shown upon me. I continue to look forward to many great experiences and bonding moments with the people and serve the Lord wholeheartedly.
