This is to describe a church complex named HKBP (in english, Christian Union of Reformist Batak -- Batak is a native ethnic in Indonesia). The "Sinambella-Simanullang" name represents two family / surname of their great-great grandfather "Siraja Oloan". This two surname actually have four more brothers, they are Naibaho, Sihotang, Sihite, and Bakara. Sinambela is the oldest son, and Manullang is the youngest son.

This church is located in Bakara village. Sited near the Toba Lake, Northern Sumatra, Indonesia.

Some claims, the hills of Bakara (which take form in 'U' shape) is the best spot to take pictures around Toba Lake with the lake as the backdrop.

The most common courtesy for foreigner/tourists in visiting this place, and other places around Toba Lake is the phrase of "HORAS" (pronounce it like HOLE without LE, and RUST without T). This like "HI" in english or "CIAO" in italian.
