The Tamil Methodist Church (Malay: Gereja Tamil Methodist) is a church in Malacca City, Malacca, Malaysia.

History

The church was built in 1908 and initially known as Kabu Methodist Church. As the congregation grew bigger, space became an issue. In 1954, the Peranakans and English-speaking expatriates built a new church at Tengkera Street. In 1955, Mandarin-speaking Methodist moved to their own church at Tan Chay Yam Street, leaving the church to become the spiritual home for Tamil and English-speaking congregation.
