Tsung Kyam Church 崇謙堂 (Fanling, Hong Kong) is a Christian church located in Lung Yip Tau龍躍頭, Fanling, New Territories, Hong Kong. Perched on a hilltop, it resembles a pearl held in a dragon's mouth. Tsung Kyam Church is private property and not open to the public.
Tsung Kyam Church was founded in 1926 by the Basel Evangelical Missionary Society. In 1924, church leaders, including Reverend Ling Shan-Yuen 凌善元牧師, Pang Lok-sam 彭樂三, Cheung Ho-Bin, Lam Pak-Yu, and Chan Kwai-Chai, seeing the large number of worshippers each Sunday, proposed building a new church to accommodate more attendees.
In the winter of 1926, they purchased approximately 2,500 square feet of land in the center of Tsung Kyam Church Village and began construction. Construction was completed on Easter Sunday, April 18, 1927, and a dedication ceremony was held, presided over by Reverend Kei Chun-Kong, the Basel Missionary Society's representative in Hong Kong.
In 1929, the Hong Kong Christian Church of Tsung Tsin 崇真會became independent, and Tsung Chien Church became one of the churches of the Tsung Tsin General Association崇真總會.
A new Tsung Kyam Church (Tsung Tsin Mission of Hong Kong Fanling Tsung Kyam Church 崇真會粉嶺崇謙堂) was built nearby and the dedication ceremony was held on Sunday, October 23, 1983.
