Nilai Gospel Chapel (NGC) is a Brethren Assembly that provides opportunities for growth in the love, knowledge, worship & service of Jesus Christ as well as fellowship with believers in a Christ-Centred & Biblically Oriented environment.
NGC (English) had its first inaugural worship on 20 December 1998. Four assemblies, namely Jalan Imbi Chapel (JIC), The Life Chapel (TLC), Bangsar Gospel Centre (BGC) & Seremban Gospel Chapel (SGC) agreed to come together in September 1997 to start the English work in Nilai in view of the potential growth of nearby new industries, colleges & Universities.
There was a serious need for a Christian managed home care for the old-aged people in Nilai. Hence, in 2019 a plot of land was offered to NGC and was subsequently purchased. The land is situated near Nilai Springs Villas. This project is named “NGC Sanctuary – Community Living “We are writing to present a comprehensive proposal for the establishment of a fully furnished sanctuary home for elderly folks within our church community. This project aims to create a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment for our elderlies.
As believers, we share a common bond and a calling to care for those in need, particularly elderly believers who have dedicated their lives to the faith.
The proposed sanctuary home is a testament to our shared values and a tangible expression of our commitment to providing them with the utmost care, support, and dignity as they enter a new phase of their lives.
