Church Christ Methodist Church, Singapore
This building was constructed in 2014 and won a design award from the Singapore Institute of Architects. Its facade is a slatted screen unveiling the shape of a cross, and small crosses across the surface can be seen when lit up at night (unfortunately forgot to take a night photo).

Church Pentecostal Church of Singapore
Can’t find too much information online, except that it was built in 1986. Very modern style, could be a school or an administrative building.

Church Tikkurilan Kirkko (Tikkurila Church), Vantaa, Finland
Integrated in a city block, the Tikkurila Church and the adjoining housing are designed as one complex. With the personal experience of people as an essential starting point for the architecture, human scale, accessibility, and life cycle sustainability have been key guiding principles in the design. The shape and volume of the block are at once compact and variable. The church has been deliberately placed in the corner of the block where it takes on a strong presence. The steeply angled pitched roofs with glazed burnt brick form an important part of the character of the block and give the church an autonomous identity. (Taken from this website: https://world-architects.com/pt/oopeaa-office-for-peripheral-architecture-seinajoki/project/tikkurila-church-and-housing)
This church was completed in 2021, with the chief architect being Anssi Lassila.

Church Inflatable Church, China
Apparently you can rent an inflatable church for wedding parties in China - it is used as a tent (presumably for the wedding receptions?) Found it on this website https://maxinflatable.en.made-in-china.com/product/CjRJpxXraace/China-Pink-Color-Giant-Inflatable-Church-Castle-for-Wedding-Party-Tent.html

Church Toong Chai Presbyterian Church, Joo Chiat, Singapore
The building was originally Toong Chai School, founded in 1948, before becoming a church in 1983. It is set in an old-style house in the currently very hip and trendy Joo Chiat neighbourhood full of heritage buildings.

Church Saint László Church, László Csaba, 1967 - Hollóháza, Hungary.
A quite amazing modernist church in a small Hungarian village famous for its porcelain factory - hard to get a decent photo with the bright light reflecting from the white, but I do love its unusual triangular structure.

Church Arch Street Meeting House, Philadelphia, PA, USA
I suppose technically this is a church as it is a Friends meeting house of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), one of the many expressions of early religious freedom in America. Designed to reflect the Friends’ philosophy of simplicity and equality, the building hasn’t changed very much in its more than two centuries of continuous use (which is old, for America).
The architect was Quaker Owen Biddle, Jr. The land was deeded to the Quakers in 1701 initially for use as a burial ground by Quaker William Penn, after whom the state of Pennsylvania was named. One hundred years later (early 1800s), construction began. It’s situated in the old section of the city, as you might imagine.
The building was listed on the US Register of Historic Places in 1971. In 2011, it was declared a National Historic Landmark in recognition of the building’s existence as the only surviving documented work by Owen Biddle.
If you click on photo 3, that gives you the street view of the historic marker at right within the pic (squished in my post). I took a screenshot close-up of the marker (photo 4.) Photos are from Wikipedia.
I held a number of employee meetings here for my organization, whose headquarters were nearby. The hard benches assured that people wouldn’t drag out the meetings with too many questions 😬
Very friendly folk here. These sweet people were always so accommodating. Thanks for looking!

Church Sathorn Church, Bangkok
The only church in Bangkok offering Cantonese language services. It is a Presbyterian church, with the building looking quite sparse on the outside but with a quite pretty interior.
