双涯坝教会是沙巴内陆区的第一间教会。1951年打里卜教会的冯民生弟兄一家三口迁居双涯坝务农，以住家作为祈祷所，守安息日。
The Sungei Paal Church is the 1st church in the Interior Residency. In the year 1951 Bro. Pung Min Sang and his family consisting of 3 members of the Telipok Church moved to settle down at Sungei Paal as farmers and used his house as a prayer-house to worship God on Sabbaths.
1955年初，冯雅各执事与吉积弟兄二户共十八人，由保佛的吉列港迁移丹南的拉骨园坵从事农耕，同年支会的陈约翰与保佛的何提摩太二位执事巡访，于冯执事家成立祈祷所，然后访问双涯坝，两地轮流安息日聚会。
By early 1955, Dn. James Pung and Bro. Kichik, together with their families of 18 members moved from Klias in the Beaufort district to settle down at the Ladang Lagut Estate in the Tenom district as farmers. In the same year, Dn. John Chin of the Branch Board and Dn. Timothy Ho of the Beaufort Church were on pastoral visit to that area and set up a prayer-house at the residence of Dn. James Pung. After which, they visited Sungei Paal and Sabbath Services were held alternately at these two prayer-houses.
1958年底田腓力与何提摩太二位执事巡访冯民生，与基督教徒张继伟查考真理，他深受感动进而全家受洗归入真教会，此后就在张弟兄家设立祈祷所。
Dn. Philip Tyan and Dn. Timothy Ho visited Bro. Pung Min Sang at the end of 1958 and studied the truth with another Christian named Chong Kai Wee who was touched from what was being preached and accepted the truth. His whole family was baptized into the Lord and thus, prayer-house was set up at Bro. Chongs residence.
1960年2月5日田腓力与何提摩太二位执事，于祈祷所举开三天的家庭灵恩布道会，田执事继续工作两个月，陪同张弟兄作逐家访问布道，有十四户家庭接受洗礼，信徒增至二百多人。安息日聚会都挤得水泄不通，于是提议建会堂，冯民生献地一英亩，由邹初弟兄带领同灵合力建盖，感谢主，1961年4月7日竣工举开献堂礼和灵恩会，圣工非常活跃。后因冯雅各执事等迁居斗湖的巴隆，教会无人带领，于是支会派遣陈马可执事到此按立邹初为多马执事、郑成绍为达太执事、冯民生为西番雅长老和陈运莲为多加执事，此时灵恩显明极盛一时。
A 3-day Evangelical service cum spiritual convocation was held at the prayer-house by Dn. Philip Tyan and Dn Timothy Ho from February 5 to 7, 1960. After which, Dn. Philip Tyan stayed back for two months to accompany Bro. Chong to propagate the truth from house to house. Fourteen families accepted the truth and were baptized. The number of total members then increased to more than 200. the Sabbath services became over crowded. Subsequently, proposal to construct a church was raised and an acre of land was donated by Bro. Pung Min Sang. Thanks to the Lord, under the leadership of Bro. Chew Cho and the collaboration and hard works of all the members in building the church, it was completed and dedicated to the Lord on April 7, 1961 during the spiritual convocation. The divine works then was very active. Later, Dn. James Pung and family moved to Balung, Tawau with no one to lead the church there. Hence, Dn. Mark Chin was sent by the Branch Board to ordain Bro. Chew Cho as Dn. Thomas; Bro. Chang Seng Shsu a s Dn. Thaddaeus;Bro. Pung Min Sang as Eld. Zephaniah and Sis. Chin Yun Len as Dns. Dorcas. The divine works then was very progressive with signs and miracles.
但因生活之故，全部执事相继迁离双涯坝，以致教会无人牧养，幸得巴辖教会的张永香弟兄协助领会。
For the sake of livelihood, all the deacons left Sungei Paal one after another in search of greener pasture elsewhere. Thus, the church was left without a shepherd. Under such circumstances, Bro. Chong Yun Hiong of the Pahat Church came to the rescue voluntarily.
教会土地因地主转售给别人，只好另寻土地建会堂，并于十英里路旁购得半亩地，再由邹执事协助建盖第二间会堂，于1973年献给主用。此时信徒陷在不冷不热的状况中，有些信徒迁离他处工作。感谢主，古达的赖扬恩执事与黄少威弟兄于1982年在双涯坝定居，并协助教会事工，组织职务会。有感会堂陈旧，计划在张恩光弟兄奉献的地皮重建会堂。由赖执事督工建造，于1998年8月8日献与主用，目前信徒数约五十人。
The landlord sold the land on which the church was built to others, hence, the only solution was to look for another piece of land to construct another church. A half acre land by the road side at mile 10 was purchased and again with the assistance of Dn. Chew, the 2nd church was completed and dedicated to the Lord in the year 1973. The members then was in the state of neither hot nor cold, some members left to work elsewhere. Thanks to the Lord, Dn. Lai Yong En and Bro. Wong Shau Vui from Kudat came to settle down in Sungei Paal in 1982 and assisted the church in setting up of the church board. Feeling that the church was obsolete, they planned to construct a new church on the land donated by Bro. Chong En Kong with Dn. Lai as the overseer. The new church was completed and dedicated to the Lord on August 8, 1998. At present, there are about 50 members.
