Island Glades Gospel Centre

Island Glades Gospel Centre (IGGC) is part of extension work of Burmah Road Gospel Hall, the oldest assembly in S.E. Asia. As such it has inherited a Rich Heritage which goes back to 1855 when Mr. Bausum of Swiss assemblies commenced assembly work at 35 Farquhar Street in Penang. He was joined in 1859 by Mr. & Mrs. John Chapman who had been commended from Bristol, UK. Later other missionaries joined them and branched out to the other states in the then known Malaya.

This in turn means that IGGC is also part of a great movement that began in 1825-30 in England, Scotland and Ireland and which later spread to Europe commonly referred to as the brethren Movement. Hence, IGGC is part of a Rich Heritage that has continued down to the present.
