Built in 1872 by Methodists, it’s a heritage gem with original 19th-century pews and brickwork celebrated by Victoria’s Heritage Register and the National Trust. More than just Sunday services — held in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English for over 200 weekly attendees — it’s a warm, welcoming hub where migrants, students, and visitors find belonging, friendship, and spiritual grounding. For lifelong member Carmen Yu, it’s family. And with an upcoming Open House, the church invites all to experience its quiet, beautiful heart amid the bustling energy of Chinatown.
