CHC was started by three persons, Kong, Sun and a friend. All
three majored in psychology. At first, they held prayers in one of
the menbers home. Then slowly when the strength grew larger, they
moved to a place(think is paya lebar, can't remb exactly).
After some time, paya lebar also cannot tahan the membership, so
they go to the hall for their sessions. Soon, even the hall also
cannot accomodate the worshippers, so they decided to build the
jurong church.
The original design was to be an 8-storey church. But in singapore,
rule forbades religious buildings from rising more than 4-storeys.
What to do?
They build 4 storeys above the ground, and 4 storeys below! How
much money was needed for underground 4 storeys, you guess...
Then the carpark, initially the roads were made glossy like marble
material. During rainy days, cars had problems going up slope,
hence they decide to change to normal road materials. From this,
you can see how directed are they towards material wealth!!
No doubt, rev kong is a very charismatic guy. He can also earn a
lot of money from the church because it is after all, his "little
empire". If he has the ways to earn money from the churchgoers, so
be it. Just that many people, including myself, see already buay
song. Maybe we are jealous. But seriously, if I were to choose a
church, there are so many out there. Why CHC?
