There are very few churches in Hong Kong Island. The oldest church found in Hong Kong is located in the Happy Valley district, accessible by taxi from Exit A of Causeway Bay MTR Station in Hong Kong Island.

The English-speaking congregation worship at Hong Kong Adventist International Church which is located in the former premises of Hong Kong San Yu High School. Most of the members are Filipino workers. Brother Peter Chow from Singapore Chinese SDA Church has been worshiping at this church for ten years.

The Chinese-speaking congregation worship at the oldest building named Pioneer Adventist Church. There are worship services on Sabbath (Friday nights, Saturdays) and even  gatherings on Sundays.

Hong Kong Tourism Board should consider adding the church premises to its list of cultural architectural relics in Hong Kong.
