【Ten Year Project - “Rome wasn't built in a day”】
The Church Construction Journey
From the purchase of the land to the dedication of the building, the Tamkang Church Tamhai sanctuary project took ten years to complete (2012.12.09 - 2022.05.21). A church with no savings, responding in faith to God’s call, through the unified effort of its members and the enthusiastic participation of Christians at home and abroad, was able to raise the needed $500 million NTD. Germany-based architect Lin Youhan, Behet Bondzio Lin Architekten x Fuguach Architecture and Yen Partnership Architetcts devoted five years to the building construction, which covers an area of 1,537 square metres, with a total floor area of 6,816 square metres, including nine floors above ground and an additional two floors underground. With a total height of 49.9 meters, this fair-faced concrete building is the tallest church building in Taiwan and in 2021 received Taiwan Residential Architecture Award recognition. All glory and thanks go to God!

Surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, there are no walls separating the church from the public. In the main hall stands a fair-faced concrete relief sculpture of the missionary George Leslie Mackay’s shore landing, strongly emphasizing the vision for building the church - to pass on Mackay’s missionary spirit: “I would rather burn out than rust out.”
