COGS Christmas Presentation 2006 @ City Square Johor BahruChurch of the Good Shepherd started in 1993, as a small service with a congregation of about 20 people. Services were held at St Christopher's Church in JB until we shifted out to hold services in a bungalow.
Services were mainly in Mandarin, although there were a few members who were english-speaking. However, we started off as a chinese church. After being in the bungalow for a few months, the church shifted to the first floor of a shoplot.
The church started growing to about 80 people within the first 5 years.
The church was at Jalan Kuning for many years, until we bought a two storey shoplot at Taman Kebun Teh at about 5 years ago, which was fully renovated to suit our growing needs.
This is where we are now and we currently have about 200+ members and we also have an Iban church at Seri Alam that has about 300+ members.

We're an Anglican church with a flair.
We have three service on Sunday:
9:00am - Chinese Service (where it's purely in Mandarin)
11:00am - Bilingual Service (in Mandarin and English)
6:00pm - English Service
Our services all start with a time of praise & worship and we usually have a full band playing for all three services.
God has been good to us and we truly have seen His hand at work throughout these 15 years.

I have personally been in this church since they started and it has been a blessing to me to be able to see the growth of the church not only in numbers but also in the number of lives that God has touched through this church.
We may not be perfect, but we strive to do as God would want us to and we are not ashamed to say that we will continue to need and depend on God's love, grace and mercy.

Drop by one Sunday and look for Charlotte. I'll shake your hand!
I go for the 11am service...
God is I AM.
