古达位于沙巴州北端，马鲁都海湾的西岸，是沙巴州最早的首府，居民大都为华人，从事商业及务农为生（如椰园）。
1927年6月，陈马可及何腓利门二位执事，奉当时北婆罗洲（今沙巴）支会差派到古达的石码头布道，信而受洗的有原属安息日会信徒的陈必达、黄星发及陈子勋三户。为了要成立教会，于是开会决定按立陈达太长老，陈西门、黄约西二位执事及江罗以女执事，并向政府申请注册成立教会，于陈长老家作祈祷所。
除了安息日聚会外，每天晚上均有聚会，慕道者多有来求医病者，且蒙主医治，神迹显明，信徒数增至约四十位。黄约西及陈西门二位执事因工作迁去亚庇，约二年后陈长老离世，会务受了一连串的挫折。按立王弥迦及陈马利亚执事处理会务至1942年日军占领沙巴，教会被迫停止聚会。1944年9月日本投降，沙巴重归英国统治，治安恢复。
1949年在卢约书亚执事的住家恢复安息日聚会，约有十多位信徒。同年教会邀请支会的田腓力执事前来古达协助圣工，因圣灵同工，信徒略增。1953年于旧会址（离市区约1.5公里）建盖一间小型木板会堂。
1966年台湾总会派遣杨约翰及林奉来二位执事前来沙巴协助圣工，经二位执事勉励及指导，设立了宗教教育儿童班。1967年于旧会址再重建一所可容纳250人之木造会堂。
1987年蒙神安排，以十二万马币另购买一块1.9英亩的土地。1990年成立筹备建筑小组和筹备建筑基金。感谢主，一间耗资马币50多万的新会堂及30多万的儿童课室和传道房等，于1996年11月9日献与主用。由于许多信徒迁移其他地方谋生，目前信徒人数不到一百位。
Kudat is a small township situated in the north of Sabah, west of the Marudu Bay. It was the first the capital of Sabah. The population there consists of mainly Chinese engaged in business and farming（coconut plantation）.
In June, 1927 Dn. Mark Chin and Dn. Philemon Ho were sent by the then Branch Board of North Borneo, True Jesus Chruch to propagate the gospel at the Pak Pak Beach in Kudat. The families of Chin Pit Tat, Wong Sin Fatt and Chin Tse Hiun from the Seventh Day Adventists Church accepted the truth and were baptised.
A meeting was convened for the setting up of the church and the ordinations of Eld. Thaddaeus Chin, Dn. Simon Chin, Dn. Joses Wong and Dns. Lois Kong. The registration of the church with the local authority concerned was also carried out at the same time. A prayer-house was set up at Eld. Thaddaeus Chins residence. Apart from the Sabbath service, the daily evening service was also being held.
Most of the truth seekers came for the healing of their sicknesses and such many were healed. With the manifestation of miracles, the believers increased to about 40. Later, both Dn. Joses Wong and Dn. Simon Chin moved to Jesselton（Kota Kinabalu）because of livelihood. After about two years later, Eld Chin passed away and as a result the church suffe red several setbacks. Thus, Dn. Micah Wong and Dns. Mary Chin were ordained to manage the church affairs until 1942 when the then North Borneo（Now Sabah）was under the Japanese occupation and church service was stopped. After the Japanese surrendered in September1944,Sabah was once again ruled by the British and life returned to normal gradually.
Church service resumed in 1949 at the residence of Dn. Joshua Lu with about 10 believers. In the same year, Dn. Philip Tyan of the Branch Board was invited by the church to assist in the divine works in Kudat and with the presence of the Holy Spirit, the believers increased gradually. A small new wooden church building was erected at the old church site（about 1.5KM from the township）in the year 1953.
Both Dn. John Yang and Dn. Lin Fong Sheng were assigned by the Taiwan General Assembly to assist in the holy works in Sabah in 1966. Under the guidance and encouragement of these two deacons, Religious Education classes for children were established. A bigger wooden church building with a seating capacity for 250 people was rebuilt at the old site in the year 1967.
By the grace of God, a 1.9 acre piece of land at a price of MYR 120,000.00 was purchased in the year 1987. A Building Committee was formed to solicit fund in 1990. Thanks be unto our Lord, a new church building costing more than MYR 500,000.00 and a new block of classrooms complete with preachers room and other facilities were completed and dedicated to our Lord on November 9,1996. Due to many believers moving to other places for their livelihood, the membership now is less than 100.
