Bedok Methodist Church was born on 21 October 1946 when a dozen members of the Geylang Straits Methodist Church, headed by Rev. Chew Hock Hin, held their first gospel service in an attap house chapel at Padang Terbakar. Thereafter, the gospel works began to function in the charge of Mr Chan Wah Teck, a local preacher who pastored the church for 36 years until 1982 when he officially stepped down. He continued to assist in shepherding the 5 pm congregation until his retirement.

In 1949, as the pioneering work expanded, the chapel was officially known as the Bedok Methodist Church. Plans to raise funds were made to build a small church on the main road. On 29 Sept 1952, the corner stone for the new church was laid by Rev. Chew, assisted by Pastor Chan Wah Teck. The building was completed at the end of 1952 and in the following year the church, situated at No.1 Lorong Pelasari, now known as No.86 Bedok Road, was dedicated by Bishop R.L. Archer.

In 1975, the sanctuary was enlarged to cope with the increase in membership. It was completed in August that year providing a seating capacity of 230. In 1983, Chan Wah Teck Hall was constructed to accommodate the Sunday school, the BMC kindergarten and the pastors' offices. As of 1995, the membership has increased to over 900 and it is still on the rise.
