History
The Wesley Methodist Church was formed with a group of youths called "Epworth League." The church was first started to accommodate the increasing number of English-educated Chinese Christian communities in the town and it once sheltered under the same building with the Chinese Methodist Church at Theater Road, Taiping. There is another Methodist church in town, serving Chinese-speaking congregations. The early pastors of the church were Rev. Burr H. Baughman, Rev. Dr. Peterson, Rev. N.G. Manickam, Rev. Eugene O Macgraw and Rev. Kjell Knutsen.
