Toa Payoh Methodist Church originated from a combined missions outreach project between the Wesley Methodist Church and St Andrew’s Cathedral in 1968. The outreach project started as a free clinic at Block 109, Lorong 1, Toa Payoh. This provided opportunities to share the Gospel with patients who came for treatment. Rev Michael Wong, who was a pastor at Wesley Methodist Church, conducted the first worship service in 1969 with 12 non-Christian patients. With the closing down of the clinic in late 1969, the congregation comprising new converts and some Christians from other Methodist Churches, moved to a shop house at Block 4, Lorong 7 Toa Payoh. In the following year, Rev Michael Wong was officially appointed as the full-time pioneer work pastor.
