The Gereja Presbyterian Tebrau stands proudly on Jalan Cokmar, its walls a testament to the enduring faith of the local community. This church, established in 1969, is a cornerstone of the Presbyterian Church in Malaysia. The history of the Presbyterian Church in Malaysia reaches back to the 19th century. Many Chinese immigrants arrived in Singapore to seek new lives. As they made Singapore their home, they joined the Presbyterian mission. During this period, the Presbyterian Church in Malaysia was founded and extended its reach into Johor Bahru. This area was home to a significant Teochew Chinese community. It was a Johor businessman who supported the foundation of the church. The businessman, James Meldrum, helped the mission acquire land from the Sultan. This generous donation helped to make their mission a reality. The Gereja Presbyterian Tebrau continues to be a center of faith and fellowship for the local community, welcoming all who seek a spiritual home.
