History

edit

The church was built by Huang Rong-quan, a Presbyterian Church priest in Taiwan, in 1964 with a group of Atayal people.[1] It underwent reconstruction after 2000 after its roof collapsed and damaged the building. In 2004, the building was designated as a historical spot by the Taoyuan County Government.[2] In 2013, the church was selected as one of the 100 Religious Attractions in Taiwan by the Ministry of the Interior.
