Best churches in Kuala Lumpur: find options near you

Didn’t attend mass but came to have a look. It’s a really beautiful and unique church. I’ve been to many Catholic churches around the world and haven’t seen anything like this before. It’s very modern and minimalistic inside with the stages of the cross in white, and some beautiful contemporary stained glass behind the altar. There’s big screens on either side of the altar too. Mass must be very special here. ️⛪➕

I usually visited St. John’s Cathedral in Kuala Lumpur and was struck by its quiet beauty and sense of peace in the middle of the bustling city. Tucked away near Bukit Nanas, this historic Roman Catholic church offers a calm, reflective space with simple yet elegant architecture—whitewashed walls, stained glass windows, and a warm, welcoming interior. The atmosphere inside was serene, whether during Mass or just a quiet moment of prayer. It’s not just a religious site but also a meaningful cultural landmark, reflecting KL’s spiritual diversity. Whether you’re attending service or just passing through, St. John’s Cathedral is a lovely place to pause and reflect.

A beautiful Church with very helpful parishioners serving as wardens.

However they have a parish priest with a rotten attitude towards visitors.

I was asked by another family to click their pictures after mass and was obliging when he came in creating an issue for standing too close to the graves, which are incidentally placed on the walkway of the Church.

Why bury people in the center of the aisles if everyone walks there anyway? Or why not be more accommodating like other Parish Priests and show some decency to visitors? Hypocrisy at it’s finest.

My first ever Palm Sunday Mass abroad and I’m doing it right a this place

The church is awesome and great, it got the old colonials architecture and there weren’t using the AC, instead they are using a big fan from the ceiling

One of my best experience from having a mass abroad

I love that St. John’s Cathedral is an inclusive church where Catholics of all races are gathered here and united. The different masses officiated in different languages are impressive. Kudos to a well-managed church.

Nice environment inside, no AC but enough BIG fan inside. Maybe you can had a little bit struggled to find parking lot if you are late from their mass schedule. Advised to come earlier.

So peacefully place. I was here more than one hour. Sitting peace inside the church for almost one hour and moving to sit in front

Do visit this church when you are in KL. It is a place where you can spend time with Jesus – even for few minutes. Architecture (gothic I think) is old but well maintained. You can take a photo of the facade with the Merdeka bldg in the background.
It houses a first class relic of Saint Anthony. Blessed salt and oil and holy water are available. Don’t forget to light a candle at Mama Mary’grotto before heading to your next destination. Prayer has immeasurable power.

吉隆坡的圣安东尼堂（St. Anthony’s Church）位于：
Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock（陈祯禄路）50050 Kuala Lumpur（吉隆坡）附近地标和交通信息，正对吉隆坡城市画廊。紧邻茨厂（Petaling Street），步行就可到达。吉隆坡的圣安东尼教堂（St. Anthony Church）是在1912年建造的。这座教堂展现了哥特式建筑风格的特征，包括尖拱门、石头建筑材料和高耸的尖塔，符合哥特式建筑的特点。圣安东尼堂处于吉隆坡市中心较为繁华且具有历史文化氛围的地段，方便游客和信徒前来参观及参加宗教活动。
我来到了圣安东尼堂参观，哥特式建筑风格很有特色，很庄严气派，院子里面花草树木，有一股清凉的风，很惬意，教堂里面一排排整齐的座椅，庄显出这里的神圣，非常优美值得拜访有意义的一次参观。

​

After a long time away. I finally found my way back. I’ve been lost and confused, but now I see clearly. I respect every path I’ve walked, but this is where my heart truly belongs. Thank you,  our patron, for welcoming me home.

Gerejanya bagus.. Selesai misa dikasih roti beragi

Beautiful church. Came for morning mass.

St. Anthony’s Church is a Roman Catholic place of worship, often recognized for its serene ambiance, spiritual significance, and architectural beauty. Many churches dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua are adorned with intricate designs, stained-glass windows, and statues of the saint, symbolizing his role as a helper of the poor and finder of lost things. These churches typically serve as a hub for the local Catholic community, offering regular Mass services, prayers, and community events.

超過百年的教堂，目前還有聚會喔

My 1st time to visit this church in celebration of our Lady of Fatima Feast which falls on the 13th of May (up to 13 Oct. Also had a glimpse of the holy relic of St. Mother Teresa which is a drop of her blood. Worth a visit for reflection and prayers.

Ada Gua Maria, gerejanya di pinggir jalan, nyaman untuk berdoa walaupun suara kendaraan di jalan terdengar jelas

Absolute Bliss. The church was compact and good. Couldn’t explore the premise as it was raining during my visit. Beautiful church in one of the most busy places in the locality.

중국식 불교사찰에 갔다가 내려오면서 여길 방문했습니다. 인도거리에 위치한 천주교성당. 종교의 다양성을 느껴보시기 바랍니다

Very solemn and the choirs are lively ❤️

They sell many catholic things at the sunday mass
I like this church because have many place to sit.
Can park at the schools opposite

The bell rings at 6am, but it’s annoying because it rings dozens of times.
And it rings dozens of times after 11pm, so we can’t sleep.
It’s really annoying.

To owner reply ~
Yes , not everyone wants to be waken up at 6am early every day.
I hope you could think the other person’s life in peace.

One of the finest examples of colonial gothic architecture in Kuala Lumpur with various weekend masses for the prisoners; reverent traditional norvus ordo with no liturgical abuse unlike other parishes under the archdiocese

Walking distance from KL Sentral (10-15 mins depending on walking speed).

Beautiful stained glass images. Choir was fantastic

Air-conditioned Roman Catholic Church, with beautiful interiors and also glass stained windows depicting life of Christ. Accoustics was good (attended a concert at this church).

One of the nicer looking Catholic churches in Kuala Lumpur and is over a hundred years old. This beautiful church was built in 1903 and stands majestically in the Brickfields area of KL. Visitors take note they have English and Chinese prayer sessions.

Went to 5pm sunset mass. Very beautiful architecture

Gerejanya besar, cantik, parkir luas, sayang saat ke sana misa sedang libur krn Romonya pergi

Went to attend Sunday mass. The historic building was well maintained.

Deeply in love with the wonderful landmark and the environment pairs well with the hearts of the individuals who come for the congregation.
I attended a few services, wonderful, esp the liturgy service has left me a wonderful memory. Churchgoers are pretty nice and helpful.

Great place to visit if you looking for prayer & peace. Staff is great & very welcome

位於獨立廣場旁的天主堂，造訪時正在整修，但可參觀建物外觀。

It is one of the best places to worship on a Sunday morning. With different services, including orthodox and contemporary services. Your choice, but one thing is sure. You will experience sound doctrine.

Attended the 9am Sunday Eucharist. Made to feel very welcome. Good quality organist and small choir. Sermon was excellent; clearly a thriving Christian community!

Une très belle église pour se réunir le dimanche à KL. Un accueil des plus chaleureux, des sermons très intéressants, une théologie réformée et évangélique solide : on a passé une année très riche à St Mary lors de notre temps à KL ! Thank you

My sanctuary is the only place where I can get a chance to meet and share the gospel with my family and friends in Christ.

FGA also have Sunday School for any age of kids.
From babies until Youth Minister .

A place of prayer and wisdom, a place of teaching and growth, a place to call home, a place of friends and brothers and sisters.

What a lovely church.

The library is well stocked.

Parking aplenty. Do come early to find a spot.

I went the place for my son performance day. The place is clean and spacious place. Even the toilet is dry and clean too.

Bring your own jacket if you stay few hours there , their air cond is well maintained.
The stage lighting is great too.
The music and mix played well.

The seating arrangement is so special that everyone could see the stage clearly.

It us a dynamic, inspiring, lively and growing church, and having different languages Service in English, Chinese, Bahasa Malaysia, Tamil and Philipino.

过了这么多年，有超过7年。今年2025年出来说句话。也看了YouTuber 锡兰所说的LGAT。虽然说是宗教场合但是去多次cyc的主日崇拜后总觉得有时候的的讲道真的很像成功学。希望有人看到我的评论时，你自己要有批判的思维吧。本身小组就算了，不堪一击，有等于没有这样。
如果你是kl人要从别的教会换来cyc的话，你可真的要想清楚。外地人的话，还是先找别的教会看看吧。我自己的话，如果那天不是我的工作日还是出席主日崇拜，但不会交钱去大型聚会或者佈道会。
耶稣或者基督不是我的宗教；而是我的生命。我会向往去追求真理，更懂祂的心意，会向往更加贴近祂，和学习祂的样式。
如果某位领袖看到要来跟我交谈的，我欢迎你来联系。

In English translate:
After so many years, more than 7 years. I want to say something in 2025. I also watched YouTuber name 锡兰 talk about LGAT. Although it is a religious occasion, after going to Chinese youth church CYC, Sunday and Saturday worship many times, I always feel that sometimes the sermons are really like success studies. I hope that when someone sees my comments, you will have a critical mindset. Forget about the church cell group itself, it is vulnerable, and it is equivalent to nothing.
If you are a KL person who wants to change to Fga CYC from another church, you really have to think clearly. If you are an outsiders or non KL born persons, you should look try look for another church first. For me, if it is not my working day, I will still attend the Sunday worship, but I will not pay to go to a large worship events.
Jesus or Christ is not my religion; it is my life. I will yearn to pursue the truth, understand His will better, and yearn to be closer to Him and learn His style.
If a leader sees that you want to talk to me, I welcome you to contact me.

Dear admin, your guys FGA CYC database have my name as same full name as display. So if you sure want contact me for sure you will get found. There no need “so general” welcome speech and i will no write mail to your guys.

It’s a comfortable setting for a wake. FGA provides a cosy, peaceful and calm environment for those who mourn. The ability to connect family from far via Zoom was great.

However, the sound system could do with some improvement. The fallout of the sound, squeals and screeches were a little painful on the ears, especially when emotional eulogies are shared.

FGBMF had engaged FGA Convention Hall a few years to celebrate AMC.
We enjoyed the Environment atmosphere for good worshipping the Lord, Holy Spirit present in its midst of AMC activities & goodwork done for the Lord. Amen!

Waktu ke sana gerejanya ditutup jadi hanya bisa lihat dari luar

Its serene amd spiritual. The parisioners are very friendly. Its in the mids of a taman (hlusing estate)

From the very first time I stepped inside, I felt a sense of belonging and warmth that is hard to put into words. The people here aren’t just fellow churchgoers — they are family. The worship is heartfelt, the messages are filled with truth and encouragement, and the love of Christ is felt in every handshake, smile, and prayer. This is a place where faith grows, where hearts are healed, and where God’s goodness is made real through the kindness and care of His people. I thank God for placing me here, and I cherish every moment spent in this beautiful community.

Very beautiful church with friendly congregation. Attended the Bahasa mass. Their choir was so full of life. I really felt the presence of God during the service. Praise the Lord.

A stupid church who didn’t consider parking issue. A nuisance to all surrounding residents every weekend. I hope Jesus saw all these.

Update March 2025:
Refer to the photo, from 2 lane to only one tiny lane for small cars.

I hope Jesus or god won’t accept any of the follower of this church.

This rustic old church, if not for the crude whitewash, could be an original vintage. It might be a strong candidate for a pilgrimage destination if given some love.

The cone style ceiling is uniquely pyramidal. It is apt if worshippers experience any soothing sensation of healing, albeit the stifling warm air.

The bare ceiling is a sure motivation for a Michelangelo wannabe to replicate a mini Sistine Chapel.

Here sits ample potential waiting.

Rela Guards are good for looking at cars passing by only. Drivers and parishioners have to watch their own selves from being hit. Wondering why need to hire them.

Visited a church in Kuala Lumpur and felt instantly at home. The people are incredibly welcoming-first-timers even get a thoughtful welcome bag with water, a church intro booklet, and candies. The service was uplifting, and afterward, they had a “Connect” session with tea, coffee, and snacks, perfect for meeting new people. Friendly atmosphere, great community-if you’re looking for a church in KL, I highly recommend visiting. Thanks Kingdom city!

This church felt like home away from home. The service was God centered and amazing.

i feel a warm connection of the community here as a whole, the message they convey is also meaningful to me, feeling inspired after the event

Woe to the shepherds of this “church” who lead the sheep astray, the sheep needs spiritual food, they need the eternal bread which is the word of the Lord, not the spiritual highs and the prosperity gospel which is a heresy! We all need the bible so stop preaching this prosperity gospel and start preaching the bible

To give some context, I’ve been to a lot of churches over the years. I’ve been planted at Hillsong church since 2002. We visited Kingdom City church with our two kids. The kids ministry was great. Lots of smiling volunteers and the kids enjoyed it. The service was good although we were unfamiliar with the songs. Overall this was one of the better church visits I’ve done over the years. Lots to learn from what they did well.

Wonderful place with good community, people are friendly and the modern vibe for Sunday service is very lively

Eine sehr einladende, freundliche Gemeinde mit guter Organisation. Der Worship und auch die Predigt sind sehr ansprechend und man spürt die Gegenwart Gottes!
Absolute Empfehlung – wir haben uns sehr wohl und willkommen gefühlt!

You need to check out this place. Perfect for weddings – beautiful vibes and unforgettable moments.

한달살기하면서 다닌 교회입니다. 예배가 자유롭고 밝은 분위기입니다. 영어, 중국어 예배가 다른 공간에서 드려지고 있습니다. 예배가 끝나고 커피와 빵도 주네요. 몰 루프에 있는 예배당이어서 예배 후 식사하기도 좋습니다. 11:30분 예배 드렸습니다.

Very hospitable church and gives you freedom and space just to come and go as you wish. I’ve noticed there are churches in Malaysia that asks you to register, then once they have your phone number, they call and text every week for months, even if you ask them to take you off their call list. This is not that kind of church. As a visitor or as a seasonal visitor, HTBB does very well. They have a vibrant core community and as a guest, it’s a blessing to just come and join the worship without any sense of obligations or borderline harassment that comes with “evangelizing” like other churches.

부킷빈탕 Lot 10 몰 8층에 있습니다.
건물 루푸탑에 이렇게 아름답고 따듯한 교회가 있다는 것이 놀랍고 감사했습니다.
예배시간은 9:30am, 11:30am, 5:00pm 입니다.
다음에 다시 오고 싶은 교회입니다.
예배 후 카페에서 브런치를 무료로 제공합니다.

Nice church located at 8th floor (top level) of Lot 10 shopping mall. Beautiful view of KL city from here. Easy access from the lift & also escalator from car park. Very convenient church as located in KL city center, and easy access with public transportation. Relaxing environment, suitable for worship. Overall, the place is clean, well maintained, with clean toilet. There is a nice, small garden in front of the church. Also, a small cafe nearby there.

I was in town for the Sunday morning so I attended HTBB for the noon time worship. A very welcoming church, will definitely come here to worship whenever I’m in town for the Sunday

Great church. Go!
I was visiting KL from Australia for a few days, didn’t know a soul in town. had no idea which church, (and only just discovered what a Nasi Lemak was. Lol)

this one came up in Google.

Absolutely go there!! This is a good place.

Very refreshing and quality English service. (Also Chinese in other room) Great leaders, intelligent and spirit filled. lively worship and a large enough group for you to just blend-in unoticed, (if you want to) not a wacky or off spirited group, well grounded.

It’s on the top roof level, keep going up past Don Don donkey. Literally the roof.

If you want to speak with anyone post-service you will most likely need to actively start a conversation as this is a larger church with a lot going on. Also thanks to Ryan the musician (drummer) for hanging out (what a legend!!) and Terence for sitting and chatting with me in the new friends lunch. I would defiently return if in the area; given the opportunity. May God bless this church! ⛪️

Gereja tidak mewah tapi nyaman untuk berdoa, umatnya ramah

This is definitely not a catholic church.. I went there on the feast, and have never seen any fellowship so cold. The entire parish is nothing but psuedo catholic. I hope they get true deliverance

I just want to understand why the cross is red… at night I can see the church from sunway velocity… the red is a little bit scary. But would love to understand why to help me understand

Possibly one of the oldest churches in Malaysia. Very nostalgic & beautiful. But the star of the church is the organist. His magical fingers make all the hyms sound, catchy & refreshing…. Like an orchestra is playing.

I had a very disappointing experience at this church. As a newcomer, I was treated with outright disrespect, especially by the Father, Philip Chua who seemed to use his position and age as an excuse for his rude behavior. Instead of admitting his mistakes or addressing concerns respectfully, he dismissed valid criticisms by saying things like, “At this age, they’re just like that,” speaking about others in the third person as if their feelings and words were meaningless.

This attitude is not only dismissive but also deeply disrespectful. It’s incredibly disheartening to see someone in a spiritual leadership role use their position as a shield to justify such behavior. When others tried to address his rudeness, he ended the conversation by dismissing their comments entirely, hiding behind the excuse of being “older” and “more superior.”

This kind of behavior should not be tolerated in the 21st century. Being older or holding a title does not automatically make someone wiser or more righteous. Respect and humility are essential, especially in a role like his, and this kind of treatment makes it hard for newcomers to feel welcome.

A church should be a place of acceptance and respect, not a platform for arrogance and dismissal. I hope this feedback is taken seriously because this is not the kind of experience anyone should have, especially in a place meant to foster community and spiritual growth.

After reading all the other reviews below i realized Philip Chua also causes issues with other individuals. I suggest this church to take in the consideration of dismissing this father as it is clearly proven through everyone’s experience that he is not suit or ready to serve God whole heartedly.

Located at Peel Road and nearby to Sunway Velocity Mall. A holy Catholic church with warm hospitality.

choir, please guide the song. why are you guys not singing?(or you guys didn’t practice?)
