Changi Methodist Church was formerly a preaching point of Geylang Chinese Methodist Church. Worship Service was first conducted at Chong Nan School along Joo Chiat Road. Two years later, it started the pioneer work in Chai Chee, and thus changed its name to Chai Chee Preaching Point.
The working committee of Chai Chee Preaching Point requested to be instituted as a local conference in 1979, and was approved by the Conference Executive Board on 4 October, and officially instituted as a local conference on 21 October 1979.
