Wesley Methodist Church

Wesley Methodist Church is a church at the junction of Jalan Burma and Jalan Larut in George Town. The English-style church building was constructed in 1911-1912 at the building cost of $18,500, excluding another $1000 for fittings. It was dedicated by Bishop W.P. Eveland on 26 November 1912 and was named the FitzGerald Memorial Church building, after the late Bishop James M. FitzGerald and his daughter Cornelia FitzGerald. In order to acquire that piece of land, which the church bought for $8,000, the church had to swap plots in Jalan Anson and Jalan Burma for the lot in Jalan Larut.

The Wesley Methodist Church in Penang, the oldest Methodist Church in Malaysia, traces its history to June 1891, when English Evening Services were conducted at the then newly built Town Hall by Rev. D.D. Moore. In November of the same year, English services moved to the Armenian Church (no longer extant). In 1893, the English services moved again, to the Priory, at the Runnymede Hotel at Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah.

The first Sunday School was held in 1891, the first Christian Chinese wedding in 1898. The FitzGerald Memorial Church building was finally paid up in full in 1927. A few years later, in 1931, the church was renamed Wesley Church Penang.
